Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) evaluation of different solutions was carried out for 7 days. Unlike other researches, methanol-rich solutions are proven inadequate to reach a complete hydrolysis process. In water-rich solutions, hydrolysis takes place for 3 days, 85% of the silane molecules being transformed into silanols; this amount continues increasing up to the seventh day of hydrolysis.4application/pdfeng© 2010 Elsevier B.V.Atribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españaresearch articleMateriales10.1016/j.colsurfa.2010.07.036open access531-356Colloids and surfaces.
