Vn. Romannikov et al., Physicochemical features of the formation of siliceous porous mesophases -1. General views on the mechanism, RUSS CHEM B, 48(10), 1999, pp. 1821-1827
The formation of mesoporous mesophase materials via precipitation of solubl
e SiO2 forms on the surface of cationic cetyltrimethylammonium micelles was
studied. The main physicochemical factors determining the formation of sil
iceous mesoporous materials and providing an explanation of the observed ch
anges in the structural and textural characteristics of the materials were
identified and discussed.
