Abstract:A silane coupling agent is an organosilicon compound with special structure possessing organic functional groups and hydrolysable groups. In this study, a superhydrophobic-superoleophilic nano-silica film on ceramic membrane was constructed by a modified Stöber technique by using tetraethoxy-silane (TEOS) and fluoroalkyl silane (FAS). The colloidal nano-silica based silane sol coating solution was synthesized via co-hydrolysis and co-condensation of TEOS and FAS. Particle size distribution of the colloidal nan… Show more
