Abstract

Silica particles have been prepared via the sol-gel process in the presence of perfluoropropyl- and perfluorobutylmethyloxiranes. Nanoparticles are formed in the presence of acidic catalyst. Under conditions of basic catalysis the attack of silanol group (formed in situ via hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane) on the oxirane ring leads likely to the Si-O-C bond formation.
