Surface modification hydroxyl group

In addition, there are many surface modification processes that use triplet sensitizers to permit oxidation reactions. In a typical process, polyisocyanate is applied on a polyolefin together with a sensitizer such as benzo-phenone and then irradiated with UV light. As shown in Eq. (15) the sensitizer has an oxidizing effect to produce hydroxyl groups over the polymer surface. These hydroxyl groups finally react with isocyanate to provide a functional polymer [56,57]. 

Two excellent reviews that detail procedures for the preparation of bonded phase supports have recently been published by Leonard - and Buchmeiser. One of the most popular methods of surface chemical modification involves the use of organosilanes. These organosilanes react with the surface metal hydroxyl groups and form a surface, which may be represented as M-O-R, where R represents an alkyl chain and M represents the metal (i.e., silica, zirconia, titania, etc.). One important factor that must be stated, however, is that the order of stability of M-O-R bonds increases in the order of M=Si > Zr > Ti > Improvements in the hydrolytic... 

Modification of Surface Residual Hydroxyl Groups on the Phillips Catalyst. 193... 

Another general procedure for synthesis of novel Cr-based ethylene polymerization catalysts could be through modification of surface residual hydroxyl groups on a Phillips catalyst using various types of organometallic compounds, which could be chemically anchored on the catalyst surface and provide extra active sites for... 

Physically or chemically modifying the surface of PET fiber is another route to diversified products. Hydrophilicity, moisture absorption, moisture transport, soil release, color depth, tactile aesthetics, and comfort all can be affected by surface modification. Examples iaclude coatiag the surface with multiple hydroxyl groups (40), creatiag surface pores and cavities by adding a gas or gas-forming additive to the polymer melt (41), roughening the surface... 

Structure Modification. Several types of stmctural defects or variants can occur which figure in adsorption and catalysis (/) surface defects due to termination of the crystal surface and hydrolysis of surface cations (2) stmctural defects due to imperfect stacking of the secondary units, which may result in blocked channels (J) ionic species, eg, OH , AIO 2, Na", SiO , may be left stranded in the stmcture during synthesis (4) the cation form, acting as the salt of a weak acid, hydrolyzes in aqueous suspension to produce free hydroxide and cations in solution and (5) hydroxyl groups in place of metal cations may be introduced by ammonium ion exchange, followed by thermal deammoniation. 

Surface Modifications of Cellulose and Polyvinyl Alcohol, and Determination of the Surface Density of the Hydroxyl Group... 

The objective of this work is to determine the surface concentration of the hydroxyl groups of cellulose and PVA films utilizing their chemical modification. We chose these polymers mainly because the hydroxyl group is their sole functional group. Recently we have reported that a cellulose film is more excellent in wettability towards water than PVA, though cellulose is insoluble in water, in contrast to PVA(4). Since only the chemical composition of the surface must be responsible for water... 

Surface Modification of Cellulose and PVA Films. Cellulose, as well as PVA,is known to be a typical non-ionic, hydrophilic polymer possessing hydroxyl groups. As this group has a high reactivity,chemical modification of these polymers is relatively easy and, in fact, has been the subject of extensive research. However, so far as we know, no work has been reported concerned with reactions occurring only at the surface of films or fibers from these polymers. 

It is generally accepted that the only important polar adsoiption sites on the silica surface are the silanol functions, i.e., hydroxyl groups, that are attached to silicon atoms (2). They can interact with the sample molecules by hydrogen bonding and various physical observations ctAi be used to prove this statement. Complete dehydration of silica by beating, i.e., removal of all surface hydroxyl groups, yields a hydrophobia silica which no longer shows adsorption for unsaturated and polar molecules and is no more wetted by water (15). Chemical modification of the surface hydroxyls such as used in the preparation of chemically bonded phases also eliminates the selective adsorption properties of the silica. ...
