Diethoxydimethylsilane

Diethoxydimethylsilane (DMDES) may be used to modify epoxy resin6 and the surfaces of pure silica and Pd/SiO2 hydrogen gas sensors. Surface modification results in enhanced gas sensing properties of the sensors. {43}-{44}Diethoxydimethylsilane may be used as a precursor for the synthesis of ultrafine SiC powder. {45} Studies report its use as a precursor for ORMOSIL (Organically modified SILicates) and thin a-SiOxCyHz films.{47}

The composite of DEDMS and triethoxymethylsilane can be used to synthesize a liquid precursor resin for the preparation of silicon oxycarbide (SiOC). It can form a sol-gel coating on polyamide-polyethylene (PA/PE), which can be used as an anti-oxidizing food packaging material. It can also be used as a precursor in the synthesis of polydimethylsiloxane, which forms an anti-corrosive coating composite with waterborne polyurethane.

Diethoxydimethylsilane (DEDMS) is an organically modified silicate (ORMOSIL) with two methyl groups in each unit that facilitate the hydrophobic characteristics. It is mainly utilized to functionalize a variety of substrates.
