E. Matheisen et al., INSITU INVESTIGATION OF THE ADSORPTION OF ALKYLTRIMETHOXYSILANES ON IRON SURFACES, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 346(1-3), 1993, pp. 294-296
The adsorption of methyl and butyl-trimethoxysilane onto iron surfaces
from the gas phase at different humidity levels has been investigated
in situ with a quartz-crystal micro-balance and with ATR-IR spectrosc
opy. The thickness of the resulting siloxan polymer depends on the hum
idity during the film preparation. The polymer coating inhibits the co
rrosion of iron in an SO2-containing atmosphere.
