| Abstract Scope |
Reactive organic functionalities linked to trialkoxysilane especially 3-aminopropyltrialkoxysilane, [2-(3,4-Epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl]trimethoxysilane, 3-Glycidoxypropyltrimathoxysilane and trimethoxysilane has been demonstrated at one end, as an efficient precursors in deriving nanostructured thin film for variety of applications and on other end, allowed in controlled synthesis of highly stable metal nanoparticles and their multimetallic analogues most suitable for exploration in real system of technological significance. The role of functional organotrialkoxysilanes in: (1) developing Biocompatible thin film of organically modified silicate, (2) Metal ceramic framework in nanostructured network of organically modified silicate, (3)synthesis of processable monometallic, bimetallic and trimetallic noble metal nanoparticles, (4) Synthetic insertion of metal nanoparticles and their cheaper transition metal analogues within mesoporous matrix for excitable technical applications, (5) in developing fluorescent nanoparticles, (6) in making functional Prussian blue nanoparticles; will be presented |
