General description

Trimethoxy(octadecyl)silane (OTMS) is an alkyl silane that functionalizes a variety of nanoparticle surfaces and facilitates a hydrophobic coating with a high-water contact angle and low surface energy.
Trimethoxy(octadecyl)silane (OTS) is an important alkylsilane that can form strong covalent bonds with silicon oxide and serves as a potential lubricant for micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS). OTS is largely used for surface chemical modification, modifying silica resulted in an increased charge carrier mobility for a variety of vacuum deposited and solution cast organic semiconductors.

Application

Magnetic nanoparticles (Fe2O3) can be surface modified with OTMS. It forms a sorbent for the magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of endocrine disruptors (organochlorine pesticides) from milk samples. It may form a corrosion protective coating on AZ31 magnesium alloy that finds potential application in automotive industry. It may also be used to form a composite with fly ash that can be coated to achieve a superhydrophobic and UV-protected cotton fabric.
OTS is used for the development of self assembled monolayers(SAMs). OTS is also used to modify the silica dielectric surface in organic field effect transistors.

Multifunctional coatings offer many advantages towards protecting various surfaces. Here we apply aggregation induced segregation of perylene diimide (PDI) to control the surface morphology and properties of silica nanoparticles. Differentially functionalized PDI was incorporated on the surface of silica nanoparticles

Hydrophobic gold nanorods were fabricated from hydrophilic gold nanorods coated with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide by treating with mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) and subsequently octadecyltrimethoxysilane (ODS). The fabrication of the hydrophobic shell went through the process of (1) binding MPS onto the nanorods, (2)
