Abstract

The production of nanometric colloids has allowed a great advance in the nanotechnology field, with effective and potential application in several areas of science. This evolution was only possible thanks to the development of routes of chemical synthesis that allow the manufacture of spherical monodisperse colloids. We present the manufacture of silica colloids by the Stöber method, and the influence of the addition of dopant (Potassium Chloride) on this process, as well as the techniques used in the purification of the water used in the syntheses. It is noted by the results that these parameters directly interfere in the geometry, quantity and size of the colloids.
