Silica-Sepiolite Nanoarchitectures
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2013 Silica-sepiolite heterostructured materials have been prepared as novel nanoarchitectures by generation of SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) on the surface of the sepiolite fibrous clay mineral. The synthetic approach implies the use of organo-sepiolites dispersed in isopropanol to which is incorporated a selected silicon alcoxysilane, such as ...
