Nanoparticles, nanocomposites, and methods for making the nanoparticles
and nanocomposites are disclosed. Illustrated methods include preparing a nanocomposite
particle by binding a silicate compound to the surface of a core particle in an
aqueous suspension, adding a silicate source and an organic surfactant template,
and stirring the aqueous suspension to obtain silicate growth. The resultant nanoparticles
and nanocomposites have desired mesoporous silicate structure
