This paper will review the crystal growth mechanism of zeolites and discuss some of the
latest findings in this field. A great effort has been dedicated in recent years to improving the …

A review of the literature is presented for the hydrolysis of alkoxysilane esters and for the
condensation of silanols in solution or with surfaces. Studies using mono-, di-, and …

Organic-inorganic hybrids appear as a creative alternative for obtaining new materials with
unusual features. This is related to their diphasic structures, leading to multifunctional …

Tailoring of porous materials involves not only chemical synthetic techniques for tailoring
microscopic properties such as pore size, pore shape, pore connectivity, and pore surface …

Impregnation treatments are one of the alternatives to protect concrete-based building and
monuments from weathering degradation. However, it is important to consider the chemical …

Polysilsesquioxanes (RSiO1. 5) n are organic–inorganic hybrid materials that have an array
of properties and synergistic features and are considered to be robust materials in the family …

About 1000 papers on aerogels have been published so far, with nearly 200 now being
added per year. These numbers demonstrate the attraction which these low density …

The modification of cellulose acetate (CA) films via grafting of vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS)
to− OH groups, with subsequent condensation of hydrolyzed methoxy groups on the silane …

Anhydrous silylation of vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) onto silica and zirconia substrates was
investigated experimentally to demonstrate and quantify the effects of surface water on …

Presents the state of the art in improving bond strength between different materials for many
manufacturing processes. The text explores up-to-date, high-quality adhesion technologies …
