This study investigates the one-step synthesis of functionalized silica nanoparticles using dichlorodimethylsilane (DDS), and examines the statistical effects of process variables on the synthesized silica particle size. ...

Hydrophilic and hydrophobic silica nanoparticles were synthesized by a cheap, simple and low temperature one-step method. The method involves a catalytic reaction between ammonium hydroxide, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) ...
