Abstract

SiO microspheres have been prepared from TMOS/Methanol/water sols in basic condition (pH ≃ 12) by the Stöber method and studied by TEM static and dynamic light scattering techniques in order to determine the mean size Ṝ size distribution, hydrodynamic radius RH, radius of gyration RG and translational diffusion coefficient Dt; the ratio RH/RG was found less than 0.55 and the aggregates have a fractal geometry with df ∼ 2.3 ± 0.05. The results are compared to previous work on colloidal silica aggregates prepared by other techniques and discussed.
