This volume chronicles the proceedings of the Fourth International
Symposium on Silanes and Other Coupling Agents held under the aegis
of MST Conferences, LLC in Orlando, FL, June 11-13, 2003. Silanes
have been used for about half a century as coupling agents /
adhesion promoters to promote adhesion between dissimilar materials
in a variety of situations, e.g., coating technology, adhesive
bonding, and reinforced composites. However, recently silanes have
found other applications, for example, as corrosion inhibitors.
Lately there has been tremendous R&D activity in understanding
the mechanisms by which silanes work as well as in devising new and
improved silanes. This volume contains a total of 16 papers which
were properly peer reviewed, revised and edited. The book is
divided into two parts: 1. Silane Coupling Agents; and 2. Other
Coupling Agents / Adhesion Promoters. Topics covered include:
sterically hindered silanes; silane hydrolysis; silane oligomers;
adsorption of silanes and their surface characterization; structure
of bis-silane water-barrier films; silanes for improving adhesive
bonding of aluminim, elastomer-to-metal adhesive bonds, and
adhesion in silica-filler tire-tread compounds; electrodeposition
of bis-silanes; silanes to provide corrosion resistance and as
corrosion fatigue inhibitors; silane and other treatments for
musical instrument strings; cyclic azasilanes as coupling agents
for nanotechnology; hybrid polymers based on silanes for coating
textile fabrics; plasma copolymers as adhesion promoters;
organophosphate adsorption; and activation of wood fibres. This
volume and its predecessors containing bountiful information should
serve as a reference source for the latest R&D activity in the
arena of coupling agents. Anyone interested or involved in
promoting adhesion between dissimilar materials for any application
should find this volume of great use and value.
