Reaction conditions for the preparation of silica NPs of various sizes
| Desired size (nm) | TEOS (g) | Ammonium hydroxide (g) | Deionized water (g) | Average NP size (nm) as measured via laser light scattering | Average polydispersity index (PDI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 4.167 | 2.5 | 1.2 | 52.0 ± 2.96 | 0.06 ± 0.03 |
| 100 | 4.167 | 3.26 | 1.94 | 107.3 ± 6.3 | 0.02 ± 0.02 |
| 300 | 4.167 | 7.1 | 5.5 | 299.3 ± 7.7 | 0.06 ± 0.20 |
The corresponding sizes were measured via light scattering and values are the mean ± standard deviation.
