Synthetic aspects template theory for mesoporous oxides synthesis

3 SYNTHETIC ASPECTS TEMPLATE THEORY FOR MESOPOROUS OXIDES SYNTHESIS 

The field of mesoporous materials has developed rapidly since the first reports on these materials in 1992, as these last examples show. The trend is to utilize inexpensive, multifunctional micelle- or aggregate-forming surfactants or templates which may adopt many different liquid crystal-like configurations in aqueous solution. Formation of a silicate structure with well-defined pore dimensions and connectivity may then be accomplished by the appropriate choice of the synthetic conditions. Additional microporous and macroporosity may be incorporated by using macroporous host materials, as in the case of Stucky of the work by and coworkers, who created mesophases with unprecedented architecture.[47]
