Abstract

Highly monodispersed silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) were synthesised using a fluorinated surfactant, HOCH2CH(CF3)CO2H, and its efficiency was compared with efficiencies of five other surfactants. The size of the SiNPs (∼50–200 nm) was controlled by controlling the surfactant amount. The short alkyl-chain fluoro surfactant was found to be more efficient at producing monodispersed SiNPs than its long alkyl-chain fluoro or non-fluorinated surfactant counterparts.
