Abstract
Application of silica nanoparticles as fillers in the preparation of nanocomposite of polymers has drawn much attention, due to the increased demand for new materials with improved thermal, mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. Recent developments in the synthesis of monodispersed, narrow‐size distribution of nanoparticles by sol‐gel method provide significant boost to development of silica‐polymer nanocomposites. This paper is written by emphasizing on the synthesis of silica nanoparticles, characterization on size‐dependent properties, and surface modification for the preparation of homogeneous nanocomposites, generally by sol‐gel technique. The effect of nanosilica on the properties of various types of silica‐polymer composites is also summarized.
