Silanes and Other Coupling Agents, Volume 4

This volume documents the proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Silanes and Other Coupling Agents held in Toronto in June 2005. It represents the highest standard of publication, with 26 papers including those on silane coupling agents and silanes for corrosion inhibition/protection.

This book chronicles the proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium held on this topic in Toronto. A total of 26 papers covering many ramifications of silanes and other coupling agents are included in this book. The topics covered include: various ways to deposit silanes; silane adsorption; investigation of interfacial interactions between silanes and substrates; factors affecting effectiveness of silanes as adhesion promotors; silanes for corrosion inhibition/protection; application of silanes in a variety of technological areas; silanes in dental biomaterials, in understanding cellular adhesion, and in the field of textiles; and other (non-silane) coupling agents.This book provides a wealth of latest information on this highly technologically important topic and anyone interested in the use of these materials will find this book of great value and interest.
