Organosilanes coupling

In a fume hood, dissolve the organosilane coupling agent containing chloro-, amino-, or methoxysilane reactive groups in toluene, THF, or a hydrocarbon solvent at a concentration of 5 percent silane. 

Organosilane coupling agents have been widely used to improve the adhesion at the zeolite/polymer interface of the mixed-matrix membranes ]62, 63, 65, 70]. 

The surface modification can be done in water (contrary to organosilane coupling agents)... 

While organosilane coupling agents are known to play an important role in interfacial adhesion in many composite systems, the mechanisms by which they improve product properties are not well understood. Sizes and surface treatments that use silanes are often developed entirely empirically as a consequence. The structure of the coupling agent, variables associated with silane deposition, and concentrations of a plethora of additives are adjusted in large matrix experiments, using end product properties as criteria for improved or diminished performance.
