Tris-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl] isocyanurate (TTPI) has been used as a precursor to prepare a sol using ethanol as the solvent under acidic conditions. The sol-gel was applied for the surface treatment of aluminum and copper. Infrared and Raman spectra have been recorded for pure TTPI and the TTPI sol, xerogel and TTPI sol-gel coated metals. From the vibrational spectra, TTPI is likely to have the C1 point group. Vibrational assignments are suggested based on group frequencies, the expected reactions in the sol-gel process and the vibrational studies of some related molecules. From the experimental infrared spectra of xerogels annealed at different temperatures and from the thermal-gravimetric analysis, it is found that the TTPI xerogel decomposes at around 450°C with silica being the major decomposition product. A cyclic voltammetric study of the metal electrodes coated with different concentrations of TTPI ranging from 5% to 42% (v/v) has shown that the films with high concentrations of sol would provide better corrosion protection for aluminum and copper.
异氰脲酸三[3-(三甲氧基硅基)丙基]酯(TTPI)已被用作前驱体,在酸性条件下以乙醇为溶剂制备溶胶。该溶胶-凝胶用于铝和铜的表面处理。已记录了纯TTPI以及TTPI溶胶、干凝胶和TTPI溶胶-凝胶涂层金属的红外光谱和拉曼光谱。从振动光谱来看,TTPI可能具有C1点群。基于基团频率、溶胶-凝胶过程中的预期反应以及一些相关分子的振动研究,提出了振动归属。从在不同温度下退火的干凝胶的实验红外光谱以及热重分析发现,TTPI干凝胶在约450°C分解,主要分解产物为二氧化硅。对涂覆有5%至42%(v/v)不同浓度TTPI的金属电极进行的循环伏安研究表明,高浓度溶胶的薄膜能为铝和铜提供更好的腐蚀防护。
