Silanization involves the process of modifying a surface by attaching silane molecules. But, there are many other words that can be used to describe similar chemical processes. Silanization can also be referred to as silanating, silanization treatment, silanizing, or silicatization. Additionally, the use of other chemical compounds can produce similar effects and offer alternatives to silanization. These include aluminization, phosphatization, sulfonation, and carboxylation. Ultimately, the choice of chemical treatment depends on the specific application and desired surface modification outcome. Regardless of the terminology used, these chemical processes can have significant industrial and commercial applications, ranging from improving adhesion to enhancing durability.
