Abstract: | The effects of precursor structure and polycondensation conditions on the properties of hybrid nanoparticles synthesized from
organo-trimethoxysilanes were studied. Hybrid nanoparticles containing groups capable of forming hydrogen bonds were synthesized
from functional derivatives of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. For the synthesis of phenylurea-functionalized organosilica
nanoparticles different approaches to nanoparticle preparation were used. It was shown that the nature of the functional groups
(proton-donor or proton-acceptor) affects the aggregation of silica nanoparticles. Also, the difference in behavior of nanoparticles
prepared using surface modification and polycondensation was demonstrated for different pH, ionic strength and solvent polarity.
As a result, by changing the pH of the solutions, it is possible to shift the aggregation pattern of these nanoparticles,
such as the size of the initially formed aggregates. |
