Influence of the reaction conditions on organic surface modification of titania and their impact on interactions with molecules University of Antwerp
Metal oxides possess a high chemical and mechanical stability making them ideal support materials in several applications like catalysis and separation. Unfortunately, metal oxides don't have controllable selective interactions as only hydroxyl groups are present on the surface. Organic surface modification can solve this. The most used method is organosilylation, developed for silica materials. However, silica has a limited chemical stability ...
