The thesis covers a systematic investigation on the synthesis of
silica aerogels and microspheres with tailored porosity, at ambient conditions by
varying the experimental parameters as well as using organic templates.
Organically modified silica-gelatin and silica-chitosan hybrids were developed for
the first time using alkylalkoxysilanes such as MTMS and VTMS. Application of
novel silica-biopolymer antiwetting coatings on different substrates such as glass,
leather and textile is also demonstrated in the thesis. |
