Abstract:In light of the success of making multicomponent sol-gel glasses, in this study the synthesis of new hybrid nanosilicas with controlled hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties was carried out by incorporating organic based species with appropriate functional groups to inorganic based alkoxides by co-condensation reaction. Furthermore, in this study the acidity and the water content during reaction synthesis was proven to be critical in controlling the structure of the hybrid nanosilicas. These nanosilicas with diff… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
