Experimental study demonstrates tunable functionalization and uniform chemical distribution in hybrid silica particles, suggesting efficient strategies for custom nanomaterial design.
in the unfunctionalized silica particles. Other important characteristics such as the degree of condensation and surface charge can also be influenced by precursor choice. The enhanced reactivity of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane yields a higher degree of particle functionalization. Nanoscale chemical mapping has been performed using energy-dispersive Xray spectroscopy and Auger spectroscopy. Homogeneous distribution of the functionalities within the hybrid particles occurs. The present work gives tools to easily tailor functional silica particles, thus providing simple ways to tune their properties to meet a wide range of applications.
