This research work is concerned with the synthesis of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) assisted silica nanomatrix and creosol red (CR) immobilization in silica nanomatrix. The synthesized nanomatrices are systematically characterized by FESEM/EDS analysis, AFM, FTIR, TGA, BET and UV–vis spectr...
