A double step synthesis of mesoporous micrometric spherical MSU-X silica particles

Abstract

Spherical particles of mesoporous MSU-X silica in the micrometric size range have been obtained through a new double step process that led to an easy and highly reproducible synthesis pathway giving micelle templated structures with a large surface area and narrow pore size distribution
