Silica Spheres

Small, spherical particles made of the naturally occurring mineral silica are known as silica spheres. These spheres can be produced with a high degree of uniformity in terms of size, shape, and surface characteristics. Their sizes can range from nanometers to several micrometres.

Due to their distinctive characteristics, including high surface area, high porosity, and low toxicity, silica spheres have a wide range of applications. They can be used as an abrasive in polishing applications, as an excipient in pharmaceuticals, as a filler in cosmetics, as a catalyst support in chemical reactions, and as a reinforcing agent in composites. Additionally, they can be functionalized with different chemical groups, enabling a variety of surface chemistries.

Additionally, silica spheres can be utilised in biomedical procedures like tissue engineering, gene therapy, and drug delivery. They can be altered to have particular surface properties and ae biocompatible, which enables targeted drug delivery and cell targeting.
