Popis: A series of trialkoxysilane compounds tipped with primary amine groups were used to functionalize the surfaces of glass and colloidal silica. Streaming potential and microelectrophoretic mobility measurements were used to monitor the stability of the functionalized surfaces. Hydrolytic breakdown of the surface-to-silane coupling was induced by either successively increasing and decreasing the pH of the solution in contact with the surface, or by aging the derivatised surfaces in aqueous solution over prolonged periods of time. The chemistry of the spacer units between the trialkoxysilane group and the primary amine tip had a major influence on the subsequent hydrolytic stability. Large hydrophobic spacer groups showed small changes in the electrokinetic properties on storage, but large changes when successively titrated with acid and base through the pH range. The behavior observed with small hydrophobic spacer groups was that large changes in electrokinetic properties were obtained on storage and with pH titration.
