Chemical Properties
METHOXYTRIMETHYLSILANE is clear colorless liquid
Uses
Methoxytrimethylsilane plays an important role in the synthesis of organic compounds and used as water disgusting. It is used in the preparation of alfa-lithioalkoxysilanes by treating with tert-butyllithium.
Uses
Superhydrophobic recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) aerogels can be fabricated by using rPET fibers and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and can be coated on MTMS. MTMS on diglycidyl bisphenol A resin (epoxy resin) also shows weathering resistance on exposure to UV by lowering the effect of color change by 45%.
Uses
Effect of chemical modification of diglycidyl bisphenol A based epoxy resin with methyltrimethoxy silane (MTMS) was studied. It was used to quench lab ware with MTMS while handling HF/pyridine.
General Description
Methoxytrimethylsilane (MTMS) is a silylating agent, which is majorly used to provide a hydrophobic surface coating with a high water contact angle and low surface energy.
Chemical Reactivity
Methoxytrimethylsilane can react with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, it decomposes and releases carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and silicon dioxide.
Synthesis
Mix sodium methanol and solvent, ice bath cooling, dropwise addition of trimethylchlorosilane, control temperature 0-50 , dropwise addition of trimethylchlorosilane after the temperature rise to 60-100 , continue to react for 0.5-4h, the reaction is complete, centrifugation, take the supernatant distillation to get high purity trimethylmethoxysilane.
