A statistical design approach to the sol–gel synthesis of (amino)organosilane hybrid nanoparticles

Abstract

This study comprehensively investigates the efficiency of the formulation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) copolymer in sol-gel syntheses as part of a multivariate experiment. A methodology-based response surface was...

PVA/CdS-Ag Nanocomposites: Effect of Composition and UV Radiation on Optical, Electrical and Structural Properties

“…Additionally, polymers are considered outstanding host matrix for nano-crystals as it prevents agglomeration and behaves as a good capping agent. 4 Significant importance has given to the formation of polymer nanocomposites with enhanced properties by embedding two or more nanoparticles. 5 The basic idea behind the embedding two or more distinct nanoparticles within the polymeric matrix provides numerous possibilities to manufacture fresh materials that are defined by various parameters and their properties can be tuned by varying the content of embedding particles.…”
