Interplay of Hydrophobic Thiol and Polar Epoxy Silicate Groups on Microstructural Development in Low-Alcohol, Crosslinked Sol–Gel Coatings for Corrosion Prevention

We have demonstrated that our patented, crosslinked, sol–gel, epoxy–thiol silicates made from the combination of (a) tetraethoxysilane (TEOS, <i>T</i>), 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS, <i>G</i>), and the (b) sulfur-containing 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS,...
