Structural Control of Surfactant-Templated Hexagonal, Cubic, and Lamellar Mesoporous Silicate Thin Films Prepared by Spin-Casting

Synthesis of ordered mesoporous silica membrane on inorganic hollow fiber

“…Previous research has been carried out on the synthesis of ordered mesoporous silica membranes on dense substrates such as glass [4][5][6][7][8], silicon wafers [7][8][9][10], petri dishes [11], and tin-doped indium (ITO) [12]. The challenge in making a thin membrane onto porous supports is that the surfactant-templated silica sol tends to penetrate into the pores of the support instead of forming a thin layer on the surface of coarse supports.…”

Surface Photovoltage NO Gas Sensor with Properties Dependent on the Structure of the Self-Ordered Mesoporous Silicate Film

“…It is known that biological molecules such as proteins produce a similar broad range bioluminescence, due to the presence of aromatic amino acids. [7] Such a bioluminescence could mask the size-dependent emission peaks produced by PbS nano-…”

Positron annihilation study of silica films templated by a cationic surfactant

“…For such practical applications, it is necessary to produce a highly ordered, concentrated pore structure. Since the synthesis of mesoporous silicates with tunable morphologies, for instance known as M41S [1], nonionic amphiphilic block copolymers [2][3][4] and ionic surfactants [5,6] have been subsequently utilized to form porous structures. A successful preparation of such surfactant-templated porous materials using organic, inorganic, and directing agents relies on the sol-gel condition for self-assembling of the precursor.…”
