The information provided by different characterisation methods when measuring particle size varies depending on the chosen technique and analytical approach (e.g. light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, spectroscopy, x-ray scattering). This in turn has an impact on the accuracy of the results as well as comparability between methods and overall confidence on the analyses. The present study used a common sol-gel reaction to synthesise amorphous silica nanoparticles (aSiNPs) and characterised the product purity and homogeneity. The reaction involved hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in the presence of lysine, which acted as catalyst for the silica production and also as a capping agent for particle size control in a suspension kept at pH 8-10. According to DLS data, the stock suspension was stable for at least 6 months in Milli Q water without surfactant when kept at 4°C. This study focused on multi-method size and shape characterisation of the aSiNPs, involving the following techniques: DLS, TEM, FTIR, STEM and SAXS. These techniques provided information on hydrodynamic diameter, core particle dimensions, sphere equivalent size, and radius of gyration. Our results show two particle populations, one around 2 nm and the other around 7 nm in diameter. Notably, these two populations are not resolved (i.e. “visible”) by all methods used.

Abstract Gao et al. have proposed a facile method of silica nanoparticle synthesis called the solvent varying technique (SVT). Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) have been synthesized using the SVT. The diameters of the SNPs produced by these recipes are sensitive to drying temperature especially when they are used to form photonic crystal films on the surface of textiles. The colour appearance of the coated fabrics can be affected by unused reactants from the colloidal suspensions. These form a thin layer on the surface of the SNPs, which can adversely affect the constructive interference of light from the photonic crystal. In this paper, the original SNP solutions have been processed using a centrifuge and solvent replacement technique in order to reduce this problem. A TEM was used to record the morphology of the surface of the original and centrifuged particles. The resultant images show that there were fewer impurities present on the surface of the centrifuged SNPs than that of the original SNPs. DLS was used to measure the diameters and dispersion of the original and the centrifuged particles. A spectrophotometer was used to measure the reflectance of the samples. The chromaticities of the coated fabrics using both the original and centrifuged SNPs dried at a range of temperatures (40 °C, 60 °C, 80 °C and 100 °C) have been compared. It was determined that the centrifuged SNPs could be dried at higher temperatures than previously reported with little effect on the colour appearance of the photonic crystals.
