Highly ordered large caged cubic mesoporous silica structures templated by triblock PEO–PBO–PEO copolymer
Abstract
Highly ordered, hydrothermally stable, caged cubic mesoporous silica structures (Imm) with unusually large pore size (120 Å) have been synthesized by using hydrophobic poly(butylene oxide) containing triblock PEO–PBO–PEO copolymer as a structure-directing agent.
