Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Биологическая активность

Triethoxycaprylylsilane is an organically modified silane that has been found to aggregate in the form of normal micelles as well as reverse micelles. The molecule can be hydrolyzed to form a hydrated silica network while the n-octyl groups are held together through hydrophobic interaction. The network can host hydrophobic molecules through interactions with the hydrophobic core and the hydrophilic silica cores can encapsulate hydrophilic molecules such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Triethoxycaprylylsilane is commonly used in plastics applications.
