Abstract Cyclic ether, such as 1, 3‐dioxolane (DOL), are promising solvent for low‐
temperature electrolytes because of the low freezing point. Their use in electrolytes …

Surface modification is one of the important steps for synthesizing hydrophobic silica
aerogels by ambient pressure drying in which silylating agent plays a vital role …

Modification of sepiolite clay has been performed using triethoxy-3-(2-imidazolin-1-yl)
propylsilane in the presence of toluene solution. The modified material was characterized by …

Low molecular weight linear siloxanes are problematic compounds known to occur in water
bodies, especially in water reclaimed from closed volumes. Remediation was attempted …

In this work, green-emitting InP/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) modified with 1-dodecanethiol
were embedded into silica by two methods to improve their photostability while maintaining …

The IR and Raman spectra of fully deuterated silicic acid (D4SiO4) have been obtained for
the first time in solution and contrasted with the analogous spectra of H4SiO4. The IR …

Hydrolysis and polycondensation of phenylaminomethyl triethoxysilane (PAMS) and
tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) with different molar ratios were investigated by Fourier transform …

Equilibrium structures of H4-n Ti (OH) n (n= 2− 4) molecules and the Ti (OH) 4 dimer and
trimers were optimized at the B3LYP level of theory. Theoretical vibrational frequencies of …

Fumed silica with a specific area of 295 m 2/g was carbonized by successive
phenyltrimethoxysilane treatments followed by annealing in inert atmosphere up to 650 C …

A series of methylmethoxysilanes (tetramethoxysilane, methyltrimethoxysilane,
dimethyldimethoxysilane, and trimethylmethoxysilane) underwent hydrolysis and …
