Abstract
Structure-directing agents that aid in the formation of ordered. mesostruct ured titania have been found in poly(ethylene oxide) surfactants. Thermal t reatment of the films results in stiffening of the titania network. thereby providing straight channels with elliptical pore cross sections (see Figur e). The preparation. characterization, and properties of these films are th oroughly discussed. as well as the possibility of extending the technique f or the preparation of 3D structures.
