Usage

Description

Vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) is a silane coupling agent characterized by its silicon and hydroxyl groups. It is primarily utilized to enhance the wettability and improve the superhydrophobic characteristics of various composites. VTMS is also used as a polymer modifier through grafting reactions, where the resulting pendant trimethoxysilyl groups serve as moisture-activated crosslinking sites. The silane-grafted polymer is processed as a thermoplastic, and crosslinking occurs after the fabrication of the finished article upon exposure to moisture. VTMS is a colorless transparent liquid.

Uses

Used in Coating Industries:
Vinyltrimethoxysilane is used as a surface modifier for materials such as TiO2, talc, kaolin, magnesium oxide nanoparticles, ammonium phosphate, and PEDOT. It provides superhydrophobicity by capping the material and creating a water-resistant protective layer, making it suitable for major coating industries.
Used in Polymer Preparation:
VTMS is used as a co-monomer in the preparation of different polymers, such as polyethylene or acrylics. These polymers exhibit improved adhesion to inorganic surfaces and can be crosslinked with moisture, enhancing their performance in various applications.
Used in Moisture-Curing Polymers:
Vinyltrimethoxysilane is used in the preparation of moisture-curing polymers, like polyethylene. Silane crosslinked polyethylene is widely utilized as cable isolation and sheathing, particularly in low voltage applications, as well as for hot water/sanitary pipes and underfloor heating systems.
Used as an Adhesion Promoter:
VTMS serves as an efficient adhesion promoter for various mineral-filled polymers, enhancing their mechanical and electrical properties, especially after exposure to moisture.
Used in Filler Compatibility:
Vinyltrimethoxysilane improves the compatibility of fillers with polymers, leading to better dispersibility, reduced melt viscosity, and easier processing of filled plastics.
Used in Surface Pre-Treatment:
VTMS is used for pre-treating glass, metals, or ceramic surfaces to improve the adhesion of coatings on these surfaces and enhance their corrosion resistance.
Used as a Moisture Scavenger:
Vinyltrimethoxysilane acts as a moisture scavenger, reacting rapidly with water. This property is widely utilized in the formulation of sealants.

The addition of 2-mercaptobenzoxazole or 2-mercaptobenzothiazole to trimethoxy(vinyl)silane was studied. The thiol-ene reaction leads to previously unknown carbofunctional (trimethoxysilyl)ethyl derivatives of 2-mercaptobenzazoles C6H4N(Y)CS(CH2)2Si(OMe)3 (Y = O, S) with anti-Markovnikov orientation. The proposed mechanism is confirmed by EPR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations.
