Abstract:
1. A method of siloxyl coating metallic particles, comprising the steps of: mixing metallic particles with a silane solution to yield a metallic particle-silane solution mixture; creating a suspension of said metallic particle-silane solution mixture for a first period of time to yield siloxyl coated metallic particles; separating said siloxyl coated metallic particles from said silane solution; rinsing said siloxyl coated metallic particles with an organic solvent to yield purified siloxyl coated metallic particles; drying said purified siloxyl coated metallic particles; mixing said dried and purified siloxyl coated metallic particles with a cross linking solution to yield a siloxyl coated metallic particle-cross linking solution mixture; creating a suspension of said siloxyl coated particle-crosslinking solution mixture for a second period of time to yield siloxyl coated and cross linked metallic particles; and separating said siloxyl coated and cross linked metallic particles from said cross linking solution.
