Perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane also known as FDTS is a colorless liquid chemical with molecular formula C10H4Cl3F17Si. FTDS molecules form self-assembled monolayers. They bond onto surfaces terminated with hydroxyl (-OH) groups such as glass ceramics or SiO2 forming a regular covalent bond. It anchors on oxide surfaces with its tricholoro-silane group and attaches covalently. Due to its heavily fluorinated tail group an FDTS monolayer reduces surface energy.
