MCM-41 mesoporous materials were synthesized under different hydrothermal conditions using organic templates, i.e. CTMA-Br, DTMA-Br. Reaction temperature (120 to 195 °C) and reaction time (24 to 120 hr) varied and their influence on the structure properties of MCM-41 was sought i.e. d = 36 to 41.6 Å for distinct micelles diameters. Also, insertion of polyaromatics into the surfactant micelles was determinant in the final pore diameter, i.e d = 35.4 to 48.6 Å.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
