Surface reactive groups

The data obtained up to the present time show that the method of catalyst preparation by the reaction of organometallic compounds with surface reactive groups may be applied to generate both isolated ions of transition metals (in various valent states) or superfine metal particles on the surface of the support.

Abstract A growing tendency in chemical vapour deposition is to produce ultra-thin films or nano-objects as particles, tubes or wires. Such an objective addresses the question of a better control of the main parameters which govern the nucieation and growth steps of the deposit. This chapter focuses on the interfacial phenomena that occur at both the solid surface and the gaseous phase levels. The role of surface defects, surface reactive groups, and autocatalytic phenomena on the nucieation step are discussed by means of representative examples from the literature. In an attempt to clarify gas-phase properties, the influence of the supersaturation parameter on the nucieation step is also described.

In a great variety of solid supports, the number and nature of the surface reactive groups drastically affect the distribution and local organization of the adsorbates. The adsorbent pretreatment and handling, or the solvent used for probe deposition, strongly influence the surface and, as a consequence, the molecule s adsorption. Therefore, their photochemistry and/or photophysics vary according to the surface pretreatment. 

It can be seen that modification of filler snrfaces both to aid processing and improve composite properties is an important and active area of research. While there are a considerable number of treatments proposed, they all follow the principle of a filler surface reactive group linked to an organic backbone, which may carry further functionality. The main variation is in the group used to achieve surface reaction. As we have seen this may be an acid or acid precursor, an aluminate, borate, phosphate, silane, titanate or zirconate. 

Polymer colloids have received an increasing interest in various applications and also biomedical areas in which they are mainly used as solid-phase supports of biomolecules. This is due to the versatility of the many heterophase elaboration processes (emulsion, dispersion, precipitation, physical processes) for making well-defined microspheres of appropriate particle sizes and surface reactive groups. In this direction, special attention has been dedicated to the preparation of smart colloids. The principal interest carried to colloidal particles based on alkyl(metha)acrylamide derivative is mainly related to their thermally sensitive colloidal properties. 

Since 02-plasma treatment alone is a rather poor technique for the preparation of a hydroxyl-functionalized PE surface (as was pointed out in Section V.B) the coupling of plasma and wet treatments is a more efficient method of such surface functionalization. For example, the density of surface reactive groups on LDPE and HDPE is greatly increased by aqueous NaBH4 treatment [114]. 

A frequently asked question is whether the silicon needs to have three surface reactive groups. The tri-functionaUty arose initially because the vinyl trichlorosilane (and hence the trialkoxy derivatives) was readily prepared. It is more difficult and expensive to make less functional molecules such as vinyl dimethyl mono-alkoxy silane. There is no definitive information on how such compounds might compare with the trialkoxy ones.
