Abstract: | N-2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AAPS) was shown to react with aluminum oxide powder to form an amine/carbonate salt, as observed by diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFT) and thermogravimetric analysis with mass spectroscopy (TGA-MS). TGA-MS, together with electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), reveal that the stoichiometric ratio of amine salt to free amine is higher on the surface of aluminum oxide powder than in a comparable neat film. In addition, TGA-MS shows that a nonstoichiometric ratio of CO2H2O is evolved upon heating the surface-treated powder (4.5/1), whereas the neat film evolves CO2/H2O at a ratio near unity. The high fraction of protonated amines, together with the higher ratio of CO2/H2O in the presence of alumina, is consistent with a proposed bonding mechanism which involves carbonate bridging between protonated amines and hydroxyl sites on the aluminum oxide surface. |
