Vibrational spectroscopic studies of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxylsilane sol–gel and its coating

Vapor-phase self-assembled monolayers of aminosilane on plasma-activated silicon substrates

“…Silane-modified substrates have found important applications in the fields of adhesion [5] and metal corrosion protection [6], as supports for inorganic catalysts, and for modification of electrodes [1][2][3][4]. Silanized surfaces may also act as building foundations for self-assembly of different types of molecules including ionic polymers [7][8][9], chromophores [10][11][12], fullerenes [13], and even inorganic colloidal particles [14].…”

TiO2 coated multi-wall carbon nanotube as a corrosion inhibitor for improving the corrosion resistance of BTESPT coatings

“…(4)), indicating the formation of covalent bonds between BTESPT solution and TiO 2 sol. The peak at 1240 cm À1 is assigned to the (CH 3 ) 3 -vibrations [40] and the peak at 776 cm À1 is -(CH 2 ) n -vibrations, which are originated from the triethoxy group in BTESPT molecule. Moreover, the peak at 3348 cm À1 can be attributed to the stretching vibration of eOH.…”

Copper-catalyzed electroless nickel coating on poly(ethylene terephthalate) board for electromagnetic application

“…The silane modified surface has strong Raman bands from ether at 1 090 cm -1 and from C-C at 1 185 cm -1 . The region 1 200 -1 500 cm -1 is typical for C-H bends, many of which have strong Raman intensity, and the large intensity of the bands around 1 286 cm -1 is characteristic for the alkane parts in the silanes [18,19]. Bands in the region of 1 500 -1 750 cm -1 had been previously observed to arise from vibrational modes of prism PET [20], which featured very strong aromatic ring stretching (1 610 cm -1 ) and C = O stretching (1 739 cm -1 ).…”
