Performance and durability of octadecyltrichlorosilane coated borosilicate glass

Fracture strength of glass chips for high-pressure microfluidics

“…It might therefore be reasonable to review bonding schemes. Other authors have tried to add hydrophobic silane coatings to stop H 2 O from reaching the flaws on borosilicate glass rods [29]. However, they found no indication that such coatings hindered the environ mental crack growth.…”
