Silica fillers are well known to improve the mechanical properties of elastomers.Nevertheless, the silica filler particles tend to aggregate and affect the properties of the elastomer. In the present study, the silica filler was modified by silane coupling agent (A-151) in order to improve the dispersion of the filler in silicone rubber. The composites samples added with surface treated silica filler was characterized by FT-IR, bound rubber, and fluorescent microscope with that reinforced by the unmodified filler as a comparison. FT-IR results evidences the successful surface modified by silane coupling agent. Bound rubber contents of the origin silica filler are much lower than that of the silica filler with the silane coupling agent treatment. The modified silica-filled shows a better dispersion than that of the origin silica filler and the agglomeration of filler occurs in the unmodified silica-filler compounds.

Highly crystalline and dispersible zirconia, synthesized by solvothermal reaction of zirconium (IV) isopropoxide isopropanol complex in benzyl alcohol, were functionalized with silane coupling agent and dispersed with o-phenylphenoxyethyl acrylate (OPPEA). Silane coupling agents such as 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) of amino functional silane, decyltrimethoxysilane (DTMS) of alkyl functional silane and 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (MPS) of acrylate functional silane have been used to modify nanoparticle surfaces and obtain dispersion of nanoparticles within OPPEA. The surface modified zirconia was compared according to silane coupling agent, FT-IR and TGA demonstrated that APTES, DMTS and MPS are chemically attached to the surface of the zirconia. The MPS-zirconia is dispersed as about 5 nm sized, whereas the APTES-zirconia, DTMS-zirconia are agglomerated. The MPS-zirconia/tetrahydrofuran (THF) sol at 15wt% loading shows high transmittance of 68 % at 550 cm-1 and the 50wt% surface modified-zirconia/OPPEA sol show refractive index of 1.657.

The PMN/EP composites were prepared by resin casting method from PMN powder pretreated with silane coupling agent KH-550. The microstructure of the PMN/EP composite was observed by SEM, the damping property and dielectric property of the composite were investigated by dynamic mechanical analyzer and impedance analyzer respectively. In the composite prepared with PMN powder pretreated by 1.5% silane coupling agent, much epoxy resin fragment is attached in the surface of PMN particles. When the silane coupling agent concentration is 1.5%, the composite shows the best damping property. Dielectric analyses suggest that the dielectric constant of the PMN/EP composite decreases with the increase of silane coupling agent content, however the dielectric loss increases with the increase of silane coupling agent content.

Silane coupling agent is applied to modify polypropylene fiber. The modification effectively transfers the hydrophobic surface of polypropylene fiber to hydrophilic surface. Results from FT-IR, SEM and contact angle meter suggest that that the surface functional groups, the morphology and hydrophilia of polypropylene fiber is changed during the hydrolysis reactions of silane coupling agent. The modification process not only improve the surface hydrophilia of polypropylene fiber, but also convert the smooth surface of unmodified fibers to rough surface of modified fibers which gives stronger interface bonding force between fiber and substrate in the field of composite applications.

The natural sepiolite as the main raw material, removing the quartz, calcium carbonate and other impurities through purification. The purified sepiolite was roasting activation pretreatment, in order to enhance surface porosity and reaction activity, and then was made of sepiolite composite by modifying through the use of silane coupling agent. The samples were characterized by XRD、SEM、BET、FT-IR and other chemical analysis method. The weight percentage of CO2 which were adsorbed by the modified sepiolite increased from 4% to 14.61%.
