Various amounts of vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMOS) have been added to the conventional grating formulation of transmission holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal (HPDLC) based polyurethane acrylate (PUA). With the addition and increasing amount of VTMOS, contact angle of the film with LC and...

Surface modification of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with covalently attachable organosilane species is a promising route for the preparation of hybrid nanomaterials in which optical and physico-chemical properties can be easily tuned. As a continuation of our ongoing studies regarding the...

The structural characteristics as well as the binding capacity of the functionalized halloysite/kaolinite from north Patagonia, Argentina were investigated. The sample was modified by immobilization of ligands containing vinyl (C=C) groups by covalent grafting with surface silanol groups.Silane ...

Amphiphilically modified kaolinite was produced by the modification of the octahedral surface of kaolinite with vinyltrimethoxysilane for use in the stabilization of Pickering emulsions. The covalent grafting of the hydrolysate of vinyltrimethoxysilane on the kaolinite octahedral surface resulte...
