“…Acetone is another popular solvent to silanize carbon nanotubes (CNT, 30 min followed by drying at 60°C), 34 silicon dioxide (5% APTES in acetone), 35 Pt electrodes (0.2% APTES in acetone, 12 h at 120°C), 36 glassy carbon electrodes (GCE, 10% APTES in acetone for 5 h), 37 and optical grating coupler sensor chips. 38 Benzene, 39 anhydrous hexane, 40,41 dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/ethanol, 42 ethanol (under reflux), 43−48 chloroform, 49,50 methanol, 51 and glacial acetic acid/methanol 52 are also useful for silanization.…”
