The Hydrophobisation of Activated Carbon Surfaces by Organic Functional Groups

A technique of hydrophobic surface design with a high degree of structural homogeneity has been developed for catalytic materials. Mesoporous activated carbons and silica gel were modified by (A) treatment with vinyltrimethoxysilane (vtms) or (B) chlorination with carbon tetrachloride followed by re...
