This synthesis includes steps such as, using a wet chemical reduction method to prepare nano-copper.

The plastic industry makes use of certain organic coupling agents, like adhesion promoters, which can thus be manufactured from trimethoxysilane.

An example is trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate, which is produced by direct addition of trimethoxy silane to the 3-methacryloxypropyl group in the presence of radical scavengers.

The resulting compound plays an important role in organosiloxane copolymers, prosthetics, and contact lenses.

Due to its high reactivity, trimethoxysilane is produced and used as site-limited intermediate in closed systems.

In case of inhalation of trimethoxysilane, a typical effect is respiratory tract irritation, which can be fatal.

High exposure to TMS may cause other physical problems like headache, drowsiness and seizure, which eventually can be fatal.

[8] Trimethoxysilane has a relatively high vapor pressure of 76 Hg at 25 °C which means that it is solely present in the gas phase in the atmosphere.

Hydrolysis of TMS can also occur in water, but at a 10 times slower rate than in air: 0.3 minutes at 2 °C.

The produced silane triol can undergo further condensation, which results in either siloxane polymers or monomers depending on the concentration.
