Preparation of Silica Nanoparticles and Its Beneficial Role in Cementitious Materials

Spherical silica nanoparticles (n‐SiO2) with controllable size have been synthesized using tetraethoxysilane as starting material and ethanol as solvent by sol‐gel method. Morphology and size of the particles was controlled through surfactants. Sorbitan monolaurate, sorbitain mon...
