General description
(3-Aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APTMS) is a high-reactivity aminosilane engineered for the deposition of cationic Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) on inorganic substrates. Its trimethoxy structure ensures faster hydrolysis and denser surface grafting compared to ethoxy-silanes, providing a terminal primary amine (-NH2) handle for the covalent attachment of biomolecules, polymers, and fluorophores. Beyond biotechnology, APTMS is a pivotal interfacial modifier in nanoelectronics, where it passivates dielectric surfaces to enhance charge-carrier mobility in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and enables the precise alignment of carbon nanotubes and graphene. Refined to a 99% high-purity specification, this grade is engineered to provide excellent consistency for applications requiring precise and reliable surface functionalization.
Application
As a versatile molecular bridge, APTMS is essential for engineering intelligent interfaces and stimuli-responsive systems that enable precise interactions at the intersection of nanotechnology, biology, and electronics.
Stimuli-Responsive Nanocarriers: Functionalizes mesoporous silica pores to create pH-sensitive "gatekeepers" that trigger drug release specifically within acidic tumor microenvironments.
Gene & Nucleic Acid Delivery: Modulates the surface zeta potential of nanoparticles to facilitate high-efficiency electrostatic loading and endosomal escape of siRNA, mRNA, and pDNA.
Precision Bioconjugation: Acts as a molecular bridge for anchoring targeting ligands (e.g., Folate, RGD peptides) or PEG chains to gold and iron oxide nanoparticles for enhanced circulation and cell-specific uptake.
Advanced Biosensing: Utilized in LSPR-based diagnostics to immobilize antibodies onto gold nanostructures, enabling real-time detection of clinical biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP).
Neuro-Targeting: Recent findings highlight its role in tuning nanoparticle surface charge to improve Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) permeability via adsorptive-mediated transcytosis
