Direct synthesis of functionalized mesoporous silica by non-ionic alkylpolyethyleneoxide surfactant assembly

Abstract

The co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and organotrialkoxysilane [(RO)₃SiR′] assembled in the presence of structure-directing non-ionic polyethyleneoxide surfactant micelles provides a convenient neutral pH synthesis methodology for the one-step preparation of organically functionalized mesostructured materials.
