Peer-reviewed, revised, and edited, the 16 review and research papers explore fundamental and applied aspects of silanes and some new applications in addition their traditional use to promote adhesion between dissimilar materials. Most deal with silane coupling agents, discussing such aspects as the effect of the bridging group on the structure of bis-silane water-barrier films, amino-silane and bis-silane pre-treatments for adhesive bonding of aluminum, and the electrodeposition of organofunctional bis-silanes and their effectiveness in providing corrosion resistance in metals. The others look at other coupling agents and adhesion promoters, among them, cyclic azasilanes as volatile coupling agents for nanotechnology, and organophosphate adsorption on metal oxide surfaces.
