The influence of nanosilica functionalization on the properties of hybrid nan…

The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of silica nanoparticles (SNs) modification on the physicochemical properties of some hybrid nanocomposites. SNs with high specific surface area were silanized by two complementary mechanisms using organosilanes with different functionalities, 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS),octyltrimethoxysilane (OTMS) or a mixture of them in order t…
