Surface Hydrophobic Modification of T-ZnOw with Silane Coupling Agent

Article Preview

Abstract:

Surface hydrophobic modification of T-ZnOw was experimented with silane coupling agent KH-570(gamma-(methylpropyl acyloxy)trimethoxysilane). It was shown by FT-IR that the whiskers was modified by silane coupling agents molecular compounded with the Zn-OH of whiskers. The effect of grafted modification with KH570 on hydrophobicity of T-ZnOw was characterized with dispersion stability test in an organic solvent and measuring the contact angle between the whiskers on distilled water. The results showed that surface treatment of T-ZnOw with KH570 improves hydrophobicity of whiskers simultaneously, and the modified whiskers have much slower settling rates than the pristine whiskers in the liquid paraffin. The contact angle between the modified whiskers with distilled water is 137.75 degrees, which is a significant increase.
