This Silica sols were synthesized by alkali hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). These sols were modified with different percentage of aluminum sol to convert silica from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The compositions of unmodified and modified silica nanoparticles were studied by X-ray fluo...
