C. Marutoiu et al., Chemically modified silica gel with mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane as stationary phase in thin-layer chromatography, J AOAC INT, 82(2), 1999, pp. 399-401
A polar silica gel R chemically modified with mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilan
e was prepared. Surface characteristics of the silica gel R before and afte
r chemical modification were determinated by elemental analysis, specific s
urface area characterization, infrared spectroscopy, and thin-layer chromat
ography. Eight dyes were separated on the chemically modified silica gel R.
