Preparation and Characterization of W@SiO2 Shielding Composite Microsphere

Article Preview

Abstract:

W@SiO2 shielding composite microspheres were prepared by Sol-gel method for the first time. The component and morphology were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The results reveal that polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was introduced to the surface of tungsten nanoparticle successfully, and tungsten nanoparticle had been coated with silica. The appropriate hydrolysis reaction time is 3h, core-shell structure W@SiO2 shielding composite microsphere can be synthesized and free silica decrease sharply. Core element and shell element of W@SiO2 shielding composite microspheres were proved to be tungsten and silica respectively.
