3-Mercaptopropyl Trimethoxysilane (CAT: R033112) is a versatile organosilane coupling agent featuring a reactive thiol (-SH) group and hydrolyzable trimethoxysilane moiety. It is widely used for surface modification of inorganic materials such as silica, glass, and metal oxides, enhancing adhesion and compatibility in composite materials, sealants, and coatings. The thiol group offers strong reactivity with metals and polymers, making MPTMS ideal for forming self-assembled monolayers, corrosion-resistant layers, and functionalized nanoparticles. Common in materials science, electronics, and biomedical research, MPTMS enables robust interface engineering in both organic and inorganic systems.
