ABSTRACTMesoporous materials have attracted considerable interest because of
applications in molecular sieve, catalyst, and adsorbent. It will be useful
for new functional device if functional molecules can be incorporated into
the pore of mesoporous material. However, it is necessary to synthesize new
mesoporous materials with controlled large pore size. Recently, new class of
mesoporous materials has been prepared using triblock copolymer as a
template. In this paper, we reported that hexagonal and cubic structure
silicate mesoporous materials can be synthesized through triblock copolymer
templating, and their size was controlled by synthesis condition at
condensation.
