The Fe3O4@SiO2 composite nanoparticles were obtained from as-synthesized magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles through the modified Stöber method. Then, the Fe3O4 nanoparticles and Fe3O4@SiO2 composite nanoparticles were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Recently, the studies focus on how to im...

Morphology-controlled nanomaterials such as silica play a crucial role in the development of technologies for addressing challenges in the fields of energy, environment, and health. After the discovery of Stöber silica, followed by that of mesoporous silica materials, such as MCM-41 and SBA-15, a significant surge in the design and synthesis of nanosilica with various sizes, shapes, morphologie...

In this paper, we report on a process for fabricating silica nanoparticle monolayer based chemical synthesis and spin-coating. Spherical nanoparticles were synthesized by Stöber method using tetraethylorthosilicate as precursor. Close-packed was realized optimizing the speed of Based analyzing field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) images, average diameter spheres determined found...

This paper investigates the influence of silica coated rubber on performance mortars. A classical Stöber sol-gel method is applied to produce a layer coating particles, which used partially replace fine aggregates in concrete. The effects surface-modified particles flowability, mechanical strength, capillary water absorption rate, and microstructure mortars are examined. results show that reduc...

Here we consider the lyotropic liquid crystals and their role in templating scaffolds of mesoporous silica materials. It was 1992 that a Mobil Research group disclosed method to produce particles having regular network pores with hexagonal cubic symmetries. The proposed as liquid-crystal 'templating' mechanism. Since symmetries resulting are those observed mesophases crystals, supposed presence...

Radioisotopes are useful tracers because their chemical properties are the same as those of stable isotopes and they show higher detection sensitivity than other tracers. Their usefulness has been demonstrated in fluorescence experiments in diverse areas including life science, medicine, and engineering. SiO2-coated radioisotope Au coreshell nanoparticles (Au@SiO2 NPs) were first synthesized by...

The present study reports the fabrication of mesoporous-structured ratiometric molecularly imprinted sensors using a combined surface-imprinted and ratiometric fluorescence method. The sensors were subsequently examined in the selective and sensitive determination of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). In the preparation of the ratiometric system, the reference dye CdTe quantum dots were embedded in si...

Abstract Uniform colloidal monodispersed silica nanoparticles were synthesized via stöber method using ammonia as a basic catalyst. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) was confirmed the homogeneous nanospheres. The decrease of TEOS concentration (0.067 to 0.012 mol L-1) and an increase of H2O concentration (3 to 14 mol L-1) at 14 mol L-1 NH3 fixed accelerated the rate of h...
