The choice of amine terminated silanes remain scarce although they have been used as coupling agents to enhance silica dispersion and interaction in polymer matrix. Functionalized silica particles were synthesized by co-condensing tetraethyl-orthosilicate with four types of silane agents in sol-gel...
