Abstract:
Hydrophobic silica nanoparticles were synthesized by silica sols modified with different percentage of zirconium sol using liquid modification. The hydrophobicity test demonstrated that silica zirconium nanoparticles are more hydrophobic as they showed 1% to 5% weight gain compared to 8% for pure silica nanoparticles. The synthesized silica nanoparticles were characterized using different techniques to investigate the effect of zirconium modification on silica nanoparticles characteristics. Structure and composition of unmodified silica nanoparticles and modified one were studied using FTIR; t
