I am doing silane modification of a glass slide, I would like to find a way to characterize and prove that the silane modification done on glass surface is through covalent bonding not through hydrogen or ionic bonding (or physorption).
Dear Dr. Radhika Suresh ,
perhaps the characterization of a covalent bond could be possible, with a suitable set-up, using the techniques for measuring dielectric properties.
For further information please see at:

Good work and best regards, Pierluigi Traverso
You can use Raman spectrocopy to characterize the surface modification. Since Raman scattering is based on the change in polarizability of the structure, covalent bonded structures will be more responsive to Raman scattering than the ionic bonded ones.
