Synthesis of silica nanoparticles by modified sol–gel process: the effect of mixing modes of the reactants and drying techniques

A modified preparation of silica nanoparticles via sol–gel process was described. The ability to control the particle size and distribution was found highly dependent on mixing modes of the reactants and drying techniques. The mixture of tetraethoxysilane and ethanol followed by addition of water (M...
