Impact of Varying the Concentration of Tetraethyl-OrthoSilicate on the Average Particle Diameter of Monodisperse Colloidal Silica Spheres

Abstract

Ifijen IH, Ikhuoria EU, Aigbodion AI and Omorogbe SO

In this study, spherical Silica particles with narrow size distribution were prepared by hydrolysis of Tetraethyl OrthoSilicate (TEOS) in Ethanol and the presence of ammonia based on the Stober method. The average particle diameter and monodispersity were controlled by varying the concentration of TEOS. Microscopic analysis showed that a smaller average particle diameter and good degree of monodispersity can be obtained by decreasing the concentration of TEOS.
