In many asymmetric catalysis applications, glove box and Schlenk techniques should be employed to prevent exposure of the rare earth catalyst to air and moisture, which can be detrimental to the reaction outcome. Solutions of the catalyst should be made using anhydrous solvents and used shortly after preparation.
Trimethylsilylation of cellulose in different 1,3-dialkylimidazolium ionic liquids (IL) with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) as a silylating agent was investigated. Trimethylsilyl (TMSi) cellulose with a degree of substitution (DS) greater than 1 is insoluble in the IL. The maximum DS obtained depends
A series of poly(gamma-chloropropyl-L-glutamate) (PCPLG) with controlled polymer molecular weight (MW = 5-28 kg x mol(-1)) and molecular weight distribution (PDI = 1.16-1.26) have been prepared from hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS)-mediated ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of gamma-chloropropyl-L-glutamic acid based N-carboxylanhydride (CP-NCA).

A silica microsphere suspension and a silica sol are employed in a two-step dipping process for the preparation of a superhydrophobic surface. It's not only a facile way to achieve the lotus effect, but can also create a multi-functional surface

Common dehydration methods of cells on biomaterials for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) include air drying, hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) or tetramethysilane (TMS) treatment and critical point drying (CPD). On the other side, freeze-drying has been widely employed in dehydrating biological samples and
