title: Controlled growth of silica-titania hybrid functional nanoparticles through a multistep microfluidic approach.
abstract: Silica/titania-based functional nanoparticles were prepared through controlled nucleation of titania and subsequent encapsulation by silica through a multistep microfluidic approach, which was successfully applied to obtaining aminopropyl-functionalized silica/titania nanoparticles for a highly sensitive humidity sensor.
