Organosilane grafting

F. J.V.E. and Airoldi, C.A. (2006) Some features associated with organosilane groups grafted by the sol-gel process onto synthetic talc-like phyllosilicate. Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 297, 95-103. 

A desire to design high capacity adsorbents resulted in the synthesis of hybrid materials with multifunctional groups introduced via direct co-condensation of proper organosilanes instead of less effective post-synthesis si lanization.19,20 One-pot synthesis through self-assembly mechanism allows the creation of active sites inside mesopores, that after template removal become accessible for adsorption.21 An alternative method for chemical grafting of OMSs, known as template displacement synthesis, permits a simultaneous template removal and attachment of functional groups.22...
