which was processed through chemical functionalization into silica (SNP) and hydrophobic silica (HSNP) nanoparticles in a three-step process. The SNPs and HSNPs were then characterized based on ...

However, the combined presence of PET and silica aerogel reduced workability due to their hydrophobic properties, as observed in SEM images. Despite the addition of SBR, the mortar’s flexural and ...
