Silane coupling agents have the ability to form a
durable bond between organic and inorganic materials.
Encounters between dissimilar materials often involve
at least one member that’s siliceous or has surface
chemistry with siliceous properties; silicates, aluminates,
borates, etc., are the principal components of the earth’s
crust. Interfaces involving such materials have become a
dynamic area of chemistry in which surfaces have been
modified in order to generate desired heterogeneous
environments or to incorporate the bulk properties of
different phases into a uniform composite structure
