Elucidation of interactive effects of synthesis conditions on the characteristics of mesoporous silicas templated using polyoxide surfactant

A series of mesoporous silicas (MS-1–MS-9) were synthesized at different gel compositions using a triblock copolymer (TCP), poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide), as the surfactant. The interactive effects of acidity, the contents of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and the...
