How to finish silanization process correctly? I have some 2mm glass beads and I'm doing silanization on them. For doing that, I have a small bottle that I fill 1/3 with glass beads and then pour silan solution on them and shake well. However, after 60 min that I drain the solution from bottle and as soon as I wash the beads with water, the beads are covered with a white greasy product which is hardly removed by water and finally I wash it by acetone to become transparent again.

Is this a correct method of silanization (and washing the products) to achieve the maximum hydrophobicity effect of silan or I should revise the method?
Sol-gel preparation techniques have many variations. The contact time -beads to the solution - determines thickness of the sol-gel layer. Here you can try to shorten the dipping (coating) time. Glass is usually dried at 60°C for 30 mins and then "cured" at 500 - 550°C form 5 s up to 2 hours. I would suggest to find out an article and follow its preparation method.
