Sun and coworkers [52] reported the effect of surface
modification on the dispersion of silica nanoparticles for
potential application as underfill material in semiconductor
packaging. Two types of silanes: aminoethylaminopropyltrimethoxy-
silane (AEAPTS) and 3-glycidyloxypropyltriethoxysilane
(GPTS) carrying amino and epoxy groups, respectively,
were used to activate the surface of 90 nm silica particles
