Effect of Synthesis Conditions on the Formation of Spherical Silica Particles with Amino Groups and their Investigation in Sorption and as Antibacterial Agents

Abstract

The research is financed from the SASPRO Programme No. 1298/03/01. Spherical silica particles with amino groups are simple and unique, as well as convenient materials for application in catalysis, nanomedicine, separation processes, adsorption, or energy-storage technology. Usually, the procedure of producing aminosilica particles includes two stages: (1) production of pure silica particles and (2) their post-synthetic grafting using aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)...
