(A) Photographs of CTAB plus cyclohexane and CTAB plus toluene gel-like formations performed spontaneously at 25 °C. (B–E) Hydrodynamic size distributions of the combinations of the different components of the reaction mixture at the concentrations of the general procedure. (B) Micellar structures in aqueous CTAB solution at 25 °C. (C, D) Aqueous CTAB solution ± cyclohexane (C) and ± toluene and ± tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) (D) at 65 °C. (E) Aqueous nanoparticle cluster suspensions ± base catalyst ± CTAB and ± cyclohexane at 65 °C. (F, G) Zeta-potential distributions of the different reaction mixture components. (F) Effects of temperature (25 and 65 °C) on aqueous CTAB solution plus reaction catalyst at the concentration of the general procedure. (G) Effects of organic solvent additions (cyclohexane and toluene) on aqueous CTAB solution at 65 °C. (H) Effects of specific base catalyst additions on zeta-potential of 92 nm nanoparticle clusters (NPs) at 25 and 65 °C.
