Effect of Etchant on SOI Wafer Surface Roughness for APTES Silanization

Cenospheres-Reinforced PA-12 Composite: Preparation, Physicochemical Properties, and Soaking Tests

“…This can lead to the agglomeration and poor dispersion of ceramic filler particles, resulting in the formation of voids and interfacial defects [28]. Coupling agents used for silanization include [28][29][30][31]: (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS), and (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTMS). Of these, only APTES, whose organic chain contains a functional group capable of forming H-bonds with polymers, provides composites with better thermo-mechanical stability, highlighting the importance of creating stronger interfacial bonds versus a simple surface energy reduction [26].…”

Effect of Calcination Temperature on the Phase Composition, Morphology, and Thermal Properties of ZrO2 and Al2O3 Modified with APTES (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane)

“…The main problem encountered with polymer-ceramic composites is ensuring adequate adhesion of ceramic fillers to the polymer matrix [12,13]. One possible method to ensure this is to modify the ceramic surface by introducing functional groups that improve adhesion, e.g., -SH, -CN-COOH, -NH 2 , and -SiH 4 [14]. Due to the simplicity of applications and the possibility to obtain good adhesion between ceramics and polymers, silanization has received much attention [14][15][16][17].…”

Due to the simplicity of applications and the possibility to obtain good adhesion between ceramics and polymers, silanization has received much attention [14][15][16][17]. Silanization is a proven way to introduce silane coupling agents that can be used to improve the surface properties and introduce reactive functional groups on ceramic surfaces [18,19].…”

“…[20]. Many studies of silane coupling agents can be found, i.e., 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) [21], 3-(aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APTMS) [22], trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) [23], (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) [14], tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) [20], triethylenetetramine (TETA) [20], and 3-glycidoxypropyl methyldiethoxysilane (GPTMS) [20]. The selection of an appropriate SCA improves their dispersion in hydrophobic solvents or polymers, resulting in enhanced mechanical properties in polymer composite materials, including epoxy resins [20].…”

Optimized antibody immobilization on natural silica-based nanostructures for the selective detection of E. coli

“…Alias et al (2018) also investigated the effect of APTES silanization on the surface roughness of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers. 27 Their work aimed to explore the surface roughness due to the good hydrophilic effect of APTES on SOI wafers. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) attached to the surface of SOI wafers were used to confirm the presence of APTES.…”
