Ay. Fadeev et Va. Yaroshenko, WETTABILITY OF POROUS SILICAS CHEMICALLY-MODIFIED WITH FLUOROALKYLSILANES ACCORDING TO DATA ON WATER POROSIMETRY, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 58(5), 1996, pp. 654-657
Studies were performed on intrusion and extrusion of water in porous s
ilicas chemically modified with fluoroalkylsilanes. The influence of t
he structure of grafted molecules and the mean pore radius of the carr
ier on intrusion and extrusion of water was investigated. The advancin
g, receding, and equilibrium contact angles were determined for water
on the surfaces modified with fluoroalkylsilanes.
