Controlled growth of silica-titania hybrid functional nanoparticles through a multistep microfluidic approach

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Nov 11;51(87):15854-7. doi: 10.1039/c5cc07230a.

Abstract

Silica/titania-based functional nanoparticles were prepared through controlled nucleation of titania and subsequent encapsulation by silica through a multistep microfluidic approach, which was successfully applied to obtaining aminopropyl-functionalized silica/titania nanoparticles for a highly sensitive humidity sensor.
