Trimethoxy(2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-octadecafluorodecyl)silane (CAS# 83048-65-1) has been used in the preparation of abrasion resistant super-antiwetting nylon surfaces. As an additive, Trimethoxy(2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-octadecafluorodecyl)silane is used to increase the hydrophobicity of the surfaces of carbon nanotube structures.
