silylation of polypropylene

[Bill]

Hi Group!

Anyone have tips or favorite literature references for silylation of
polypropylene in a vacuum oven? The 2 mL micro centrifuge tubes
would be exposed to extreme pH variations and redox chemicals and was
wondering how "permanent' various silylation agents are wrt. polypro
or polycarb. Thanks in advance for your experience and comments!

Interesting question! Where would the silylating reagent react with
polypropylene? Don't you have to have a reactive site? I'll be very
interested to see the responses.
