| Abstract | Nano-structured composite micro-granules are promising candidates for many technological and medical applications. Understanding the evolution of the mesoscopic structure of these granules, under external thermo-dynamic perturbation, is crucial to assure their use in desired applications. Silica-surfactant micro-granules, primarily of doughnut shape, have been synthesized using one step evaporation-induced assembly through spray drying of mixed dilute colloidal dispersions of silica and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Composite hollow micro-granules, consisting of densely correlated SDS molecules and silica nano-particles, are obtained because of rapid assembly during spray drying. The trapped water, retained in the spray dried granules, ensures the structural correlation among the SDS molecules in the spray dried granules. While the free water left the granules around 100 °C as expected, the trapped-water in the nano-pores remained even up to 175 °C. Expulsion of the trapped water results in immediate collapse of the correlated surfactant molecules and in turn leads to the rapid restructuring of the silica nano-particles within the granules. In situ X-ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry and thermo-gravimetric analysis have been utilized to probe the real time thermal evolution of the mesoscopic structure of the synthesized composite granules. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
