  • Hardening of ordered films of silica colloids
    Publication number: 20100093021
    Abstract: Sintering self-assemblies of calcined colloidal silica particles results in sintered colloidal crystals that are free of cracks that can be resolved using optical microscopy. The sintered colloidal crystals have significantly improved strength and durability, and withstand aggressive handling. Surface rehydroxylation of the sintered colloidal crystals enables subsequent chemical modification.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 20, 2009
    Publication date: April 15, 2010
    Applicant: THE ARIZONA BD OF REG ON BEHALF OF THE UNIV OF AZ
