Abstract
Experimental data on the synthesis of X-ray amorphous spherical silica particles and their precipitation with the formation of a supramolecular-ordered structure are presented. The influence of various conditions of synthesis (temperature, pH, relation between components) on the sizes and morphology of silica particles formed has been shown. The data on the influence of particle precipitation rate and pH on the structure of supramolecular matrices formed have been obtained. An analysis of experimental data has made it possible to propose a hierarchical model of the formation of X-ray amorphous spherical silica particles.
