Self-assembled hierarchical phenolphthalein encapsulated silica nanoparticles: structural, optical and sensing response

Exploration of novel meso-materials with higher surface areas is a major challenge in the rapidly expanding field of opto-chemical sensor devices. Therefore, synthesis and growth mechanism of surfactant CTAB assisted sol-gel based silica and phenolphthalein encapsulated silica nanoparticles (NPs) an...
