Nanoporous silica from amphiphilic block copolymer (ABC) aggregates: control over correlation and architecture of cylindrical pores

Abstract

Novel nonionic ABCs are shown to be versatile templates for the sol–gel synthesis of nanoporous silicas, the structure can be fine-tuned by varying the template concentration.
