Summary

A fumed silica surface was systematically modified by the grafting of n-alkyl chains with increasing carbon numbers. The samples were characterized by the dispersive component of the surface energy, their specific interaction potential and enthalpies of adsorption of polar, in particular, alcohol probes. It is shown that the variation of the surface properties and adsorption capacities depend on the chain length of the graft. For instance, minimum values are recorded when the surface coverage by methylene groups corresponds either to one or two CH2 surface layers. This behaviour is related to the mobility of the grafted alkyl chains, mobility which was examined by solid state NMR.
