Insights into grafting of (3-Mercaptopropyl) trimethoxy silane on halloysite nanotubes surface
2020
Abstract Functionalization of halloysite nanotubes surface by using organosilanes is sensitive to the reaction conditions. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were modified using (3-Mercaptopropyl) trimethoxy silane (MPTMS). The experiments were performed under different reaction conditions including, various solvents [Toluene, Tetrahydrofuran (THF), Ethanol, n-Hexane, 1,4 Dioxane and Acetonitrile], water content in the reaction media, volume of solvent, number of moles of silane and catalysts (triethyl amine, ammonia solution and tetra-ethoxy titanium). The elemental analysis, FT-IR analysis were used to identify the samples, which attained the highest percent of functionalization. SEM image and t…
Effect of Polarity of Solvent on Silanization of Halloysite Nanoclay Using (3-Glycidyloxy propyl) Trimethoxy Silane
2021
Abstract: The grafting of silane groups on clay surfaces has been recently investigated in order to fabricate versatile compounds with new potential applications in materials science and ecological engineering. This work explored the influence of variety of solvents with variable polarity on the silanization of halloysite nanoclay (HNT) surface by (3-Glycidyloxy propyl) trimethoxy silane. To this purpose, the functionalization of HNT by 3-Glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GOPTMS) has been conducted in Ethanol (polar protic solvent), Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and Acetonitrile (polar aprotic solvents), and Hexane, 1,4-Dioxane and Toluene (non polar solvents). The silane grafted materials were ch…
