Well-structured and monodisperse nanocomposite spheres with a magnetic core/mesoporous silica shell structure (MCMS) were obtained. The effects on the structure and morphology of the MCMS spheres were investigated under various synthesis conditions, including reaction time, quantity of silicate sources of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and n-octadecyltrimethoxysilane (C18TMS), ratio of TEOS/C18TMS, and ratio of H2O/EtOH in the starting solution. The particle size of the MCMS spheres and pore diameter are tunable in a certain range with 100% yield. A synthesis mechanism of the mesoporous silica shell was proposed that proceeds via three main stages. The silica shell proved to be effective on protecting the cores from leaching out in acidic conditions.

A new procedure has been developed, which is based on homogeneous precipitation of organized mesoporous silica from an aqueous solution of sodium metasilicate and a nonionic poly(ethylene oxide) surfactant serving as a structure-directing agent. The decrease in pH, which induces the polycondensation of silica, is achieved by hydrolysis of ethyl acetate. Owing to the complexation of Na+ cations by poly(ethylene oxide) segments, assembling of the mesostructure appears to occur under electrostatic control by the S0Na+I- pathway, where S0 and I- are surfactant and inorganic species, respectively. As the complexation of Na+ cations causes extended conformation of poly(ethylene oxide) segments, the pore size and pore volume of organized mesoporous silica increase in comparison with materials prepared under neutral or acidic conditions. The assembling of particles can be fully separated from their solidification, which results in the formation of highly regular spherical particles of mesoporous silica.

Flow-synthesis of mesoporous silica allows deliberate and precise control over the size and shapes and enables the preparation of complex microstructures (i.e., hollow spheres).

In the paper, the particle morphology is considered and the slices of phase diagrams of nanosystems agreeable to the synthesis conditions are constructed according to the data obtained earlier by authors, as well as new results of the study of nanostructured Fe-Co, Fe-Ni, Co-Ni, Fe-Co-Ni, Fe-Pt, Cu-Ni and Ni-Cd powders. It is found that all considered polymetallic systems have common nature of the particle size spatial organization, i.e., 7-20 nm nanocrystals (for different systems) form highly compact aggregates (40-100 nm) which put together into loose porous agglomerates (up to 200-250 nm) and then into unconsolidated micron size formation of cloud type. It is classified uncovered features of nanostructured polymetallic phase diagrams in comparison with phase diagrams of bulk systems. Magnetic properties of nanosystems are studied.
