ChemInform Abstract: Nonporous Silica Microspheres in the Micron and Submicron Size Range: Manufacture, Characterization and Application

Nonporous Silica Microspheres in the Micron and Submicron Size Range

Uniform nonporous silica microspheres in the micrometer and submicrometer size range are formed by a process which involves reacting alkoxysilanes with water in a short chain alcohol using dissolved ammonia as a morphological catalyst.
