CONTROLLED SYNTHESIS AND FUNCTIONALIZATION OF NANOPOROUS SOLGEL SILICA PARTICLES AND GELS

This dissertation addresses three research areas in the sol-gel synthesis of functionalmaterials. The first is the kinetics of hydrolysis and condensation of variousorganoalkoxysilanes. Two mathematical models are developed for the sol-gel reaction inbasic conditions with and without nearest-neighbo...
