Triblock Copolymer Syntheses of Mesoporous Silica with Periodic 50 to 300 Angstrom Pores

Use of amphiphilic triblock copolymers to direct the organization of polymerizing silica species has resulted in the preparation of well-ordered hexagonal mesoporous silica structures (SBA-15) with uniform pore sizes up to approximately 300 angstroms. The SBA-15 materials are synthesized in acidic m... View More
