Study on Interaction between Aluminum Hydroxide and Vinyltriethoxy Silane by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

Abstract The main aim of this work is to investigate the volatile products and their concentrations from reaction of aluminum hydroxide (ATH) and vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) decane. The upper solution of the reactants was abstracted and charred by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the interactions between ATH and VTES can be proved by the GC-MS product. In this result, the possilble mechanism of VTES and ATH was proposed. Surface water on aluminum hydroxide (ATH) was proved to contribute to the hydrolysis of VTES.
