Synthesis of Silica Nanoparticles by Sol‐Gel: Size‐Dependent Properties, Surface Modification, and Applications in Silica‐Polymer Nanocomposites—A Review

Open access
Rahman, Ismail Ab, Padavettan, Vejayakumaran·2012·Journal of Nanomaterials

Abstract

Application of silica nanoparticles as fillers in the preparation of nanocomposite of polymers has drawn much attention, due to the increased demand for new materials with improved thermal, mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. Recent developments in the synthesis of monodispersed, narrow‐size distribution of nanoparticles by sol‐gel method provide significant boost to development of silica‐polymer nanocomposites. This paper is written by emphasizing on the synthesis of silica nanoparticles, characterization on size‐dependent properties, and surface modification for the preparation of homogeneous nanocomposites, generally by sol‐gel technique. The effect of nanosilica on the properties of various types of silica‐polymer composites is also summarized.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
