Overview

Aqueous colloidal silica, essentially made of just sand and water, is turning up in surprising ways at the forefront of research. A new collection of case studies highlights some of the exciting ways academic researchers are using colloidal silica to expand the frontiers of materials science. Nano-zeolites, bijels, and soft robots are among the novel applications featured in this new ebook: “Colloidal Silica: Small Particles, Enormous Potential”.

Concepts explained and research featured:

The properties and potential applications of colloidal silica
The role of colloidal silica in creating vehicles for storage and delivery of chemicals in personal care products
The emergence of highly versatile and stable material from an oil-and-water mixture by adding colloidal silica
The creation of conductive gels from colloidal silica that could provide building blocks for soft, flexible robots
