Fluoroalkylsilane versus Alkylsilane as Hydrophobic Agents for Silica and Silicates
Hydrophobic powders were obtained via surface modification of silica or magnesium silicate with selected silanes. A modified precipitation method, carried out in an emulsion system, was used for monodisperse silica synthesis, while magnesium silicate was precipitated in a traditional water system. F...
