Abstract
Structural ordering of monodispersed spherical silica particles (MSSP) occu rs in ammonia stabilized concentrated suspensions obtained by tetraethoxysi lane (TEOS) hydrolysis in alcohol-aqueous solutions in the ammonia concentr ation range from 0.0001 to 0.0008 mol/L. MSSP interaction follows the DLFO (Deryagin, Landau Ferway, and Overbeck) mechanism when electrostatic repuls ive forces between the particles predominate, and the structural ordering r equires straightened conditions, which are provided by suspension concentra ting through MSSP gravitational precipitation.
