Particle Growth of SG-CViL generated silica sols using differing ionic solutions (A), varying solution salinity (B), pH (C), and aging temperature (D). Particle size was monitored for 90 minutes using DLS at 40°C aging temperature, except for experiments in (D) where aging temperature was varied. Inset in (A) shows particle size over time of silica generated using K-buffer; insets in (B) and (C) show bimodal size distributions at the referenced data points. In (D), experiments were conducted using 1× PBS, pH 7.4, with the sols aged at 25, 30, 35, or 40°C. Error bars represent the standard deviation of N=3 experiments.
