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.
