Abstract

This paper presents the effects of silane coupling agent, which includes interfacial adhesive strength, water treatment, polymer composites and coatings that make it valuable for multi-materialization. The methoxy-type silane coupling agent composites-based modification is discussed using different methods exhibiting higher reactivity towards hydrolysis. The characteristics of developed vulcanization, in particular the dimethoxy-type silane-coupling agents than the trimethoxy-type have improved properties such as environment friendly fabrication process, mechanical, physical, swelling and dynamic viscoelastic properties of composites. The modification of aggregated surface along with asphalt binder excel their properties. Specifically, the silane coupling agent (SCA) Glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (KH-560) utilization realizes the modification purpose. This review focuses on synthetic approaches, surface modification, surface thermodynamic properties, techniques, salinization reaction and recent development in use of silane modifiers in various applications.
