Abstract

Both a fully hydroxylated silica (HiSil 233) and a partially hydroxylated silica (Cab-o-Sil M-5) were treated with organosilanes and a silazane. Water adsorption isotherms were then monitored on the resulting products. Reflectance IR spectroscopic measurements were used to follow the reactions of the surface hydroxyls with the silanes and to examine the subsequent water adsorption. The main objective was to ascertain the water susceptibilities of the different functional groups and the availability to water of any residual hydroxyls.
