Fully alkoxysilane-functionalized aliphatic polyamine compounds

Fully alkoxysilane-functionalized aliphatic polyamine compounds (e.g., fully functionalized dialkylenetriamine compounds) can be formed by reacting a dialkylenetriamine (e.g., diethylenetriamine) with a compound comprising an amine-reactive group and an alkoxysilane group (e.g., an isocyanatoalkylalkoxysilane). These functionalized compounds find utility as the predominant component in forming organic/inorganic hybrid materials via sol-gel processing.
