Even though silica gel can absorb a large amount of liquid, its outside surface can remain dry to the touch. Since it is lighter in weight than other absorbant materials, it is preferred for shipping. It also has a long shelf life and does not require any special handling precautions. Re...
Silica, or silicon dioxide (SiO2), is the same material found in quartz. The gel form contains millions of tiny pores that can adsorb and hold moisture. Silica gel is essentially porous sand. Silica gel can adsorb about 40 percent of its weight in moisture and can take the relative ...
What is silica gel? Why use silica gel as the main raw material?-Shanghai Yingqi Desiccant Co., Ltd.
What is silica gel and how does it work? Silica gel is a desiccant, which is a fancy way of saying it absorbs moisture (actually, technically it adsorbs moisture, but the difference is not important here) from the atmosphere. It can take in some 40% of its w...
In the top to down approach, nanoparticles are prepared by breaking down a bulk into nano-sized particles. In the bottom to up approach, nanoparticles are synthesized from atoms, molecules, and smaller monomers. Green synthesis is a non-toxic and environmental friendly method because it uses bio...
