Varying the time between adding a co‐structure‐directing agent and a silica source to an anionic surfactant template results in either well‐ordered cubic or a novel tetragonal (P42/mnm) mesocage material by arrangement of micellar spheres of various sizes. The image shows the high‐resolution transmission electron micrograph of the tetragonal structure and the corresponding electron diffraction pattern (inset).
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.
