R. Richer et L. Mercier, DIRECT SYNTHESIS OF FUNCTIONALIZED MESOPOROUS SILICA BY NONIONIC ALKYLPOLYETHYLENEOXIDE SURFACTANT ASSEMBLY, Chemical communications, (16), 1998, pp. 1775-1776
The co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and organotrialkoxysil
ane [(RO)(3)SiR'] assembled in the presence of structure-directing non
-ionic polyethyleneoxide surfactant micelles provides a convenient neu
tral pH synthesis methodology for the one-step preparation of organica
lly functionalized mesostructured materials.
