Abstract
⺠Silica nanoparticles of various diameters are prepared and characterized. ⺠The Stöber sol-gel process is optimized for desired particle properties. ⺠High water concentrations and calcination result in nonporous particles. ⺠Low polydispersity results under conditions where T has a weak effect on diameter. ⺠Surface area analysis confirms sphericity, nonporosity and low polydispersity.
