silanelinked
Silanelinked is a term used to describe molecules or materials that have been modified or functionalized using silane chemistry. Silanes are a class of compounds containing silicon-hydrogen bonds, and they are widely employed as coupling agents and surface modifiers. When silanes are used to link molecules or materials, they form a stable covalent bond between different chemical species, often bridging organic and inorganic interfaces.
The process typically involves a silane molecule with at least one hydrolyzable group (like an alkoxy or
This silane linkage is crucial in applications like adhesion promotion, where it improves the bonding between
