Abstract: Two types of s i l a n e s , including 3 - glycidoxy propyl trimethoxy silane (GPTMS) and 3- amino propyl triethoxy silane (APTES), were grafted onto polystyrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic acid (PSSA_MA) first, followed by the grafting reaction to the silica surface. The modification of PSSA_MAonto silica was confirmed through FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectrum), NMR (Nuclear mag…
