The objective of the research is to design a new technique of converting Tronoh silica sand to silica sand nanoparticles by using ingenious combination of milling process and heating mechanism. Raw Tronoh silica sand was milled for 10 hours with heating process after every 2 hours of milling and the results are analyzed using particle size analyzer. Particles size of less than 100 nm has been repeatedly achieved in this research. Findings from this research provide a simple and low cost alternative method of producing silica sand nanoparticles. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84891949173&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.465-466.998&partnerID=40&md5=15bd5fba9834bb28506e7fa271073d3e id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.465-466.998 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 465-46 place_of_pub: Bangi-Putrajaya pagerange: 998-1002 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783037859339 issn: 16609336 citation: Rizlan, Z. and Mamat, O.
