Mineralization of the Wax Dispersion

The presence of siUca nanoparticles adsorbed at the wax-water interface also makes for nucleation sites for silica obtained through sol-gel process. In crystal 

The amount of TEOS into the reaction media governs the hybrid object morphologies By increasing the TEOS concentration from 0.13 to 0.62 M, we can note a tendency to increase the silica shells thickness by about a factor of 2 from roughly 200 to 400 nm.
