Does anyone have any idea about how to functionalize TiO2 and SiO2 nano particles by Trichloro(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl)silane for Superoleophobic, simple solution methods.
Hydrophilic or hydrophobic nanoparticles??
Dear Rahmantallah,
firstly, the sample can be cleaned by oxygen plasma for about 1 min to provide oxygen groups on the surface (if available!), then immerse your sample in a 1% absolute ethanol solution of Trichloro(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl)silane under inert atmosphere “Nitrogen” with a moderate stirring. Depending on the surface coverage you can decide the immersion time from few minutes up to some hours. After removing the sample rinse it immediately with ethanol and dry it in a vacuum oven for 1 h at 60 °C or under vacuum overnight.
The produced surface will be hydrophobic.
Good Luck!
Dear Rahmantallah,
Our work "Light-Triggered Drug Release Platform Based on
Superhydrophobicity of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles" may provide theoretical and practical guidance for you work
2.4. Synthesis of MSNs-OTS
The as-prepared MSNs-OTS were first added with amount of OTS (20 L) in dry toluene (3 mL), and then the OTSmodified MSNs was obtained. In details, MSNs (100 mg) were added to 3 mL of dry toluene and stirred for 60 min at room temperature. Finally, the OTS-modified MSNs were separated from the supernatant by centrifugation(12000 rpm), and the slurry was washed extensively with dry toluene, collected via centrifugation several times, and dried in an oven (30 C) overnight.
Good Luck!
Thanks a lot, Wanyuan
which nanoparticle should I use for superoleophobic? Hydrophilic or hydrophobic nanoparticle?
