This chemical is primarily used as a surface modifying agent in the field of materials science. It is applied to modify the surface properties of various substrates, such as glass, silicon wafers, or metals, to make them hydrophobic or to introduce specific functional groups. The bromoalkyl chain allows for further chemical reactions, enabling the attachment of other molecules or polymers, which is useful in creating tailored surfaces for applications like biosensors, chromatography, or nanotechnology. Its chlorosilane group facilitates strong bonding with hydroxyl groups on surfaces, ensuring stable and durable modifications. This compound is particularly valuable in research and industrial settings where precise surface engineering is required.
