The polymerization behavior of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, a process initiated by water molecules, has been examined using time-resolved near-IR and 2D near-IR con-elation spectra. By deconvolution of the time-resolved near-IR spectra, the existence of the component bands at 5189, 5265 and 5300 cm(-1), whose intensities decrease markedly as the reaction proceeds, has been confirmed in the 5000-5400 cm(-1) region. The band at 5189 cm(-1) has been assigned to water molecules, while those at 5265 and 5300 cm(-1) have been assigned to the strongly and weakly associated silanol groups, respectively. The kinetics of the hydrolysis of the ethoxy groups and of the formation of a siloxane bond have been analyzed using the time-dependent integral intensities of these three bands and the mechanisms of the reactions have been discussed. Evidence for this polymerization process is also clearly evident in the 2D near-IR correlation spectra.
