Abstract
A large number of periodic mesoporous materials have been reported using amphiphilic organic molecules with increasing development of synthetic methods for mesostructural, morphological, and compositional designs. The evaporation-induced self-assembly (ESIA) process to fabricate ordered mesoporous films is one of the most essential synthetic methods, which has extensively been applied for obtaining a wide variety of samples (e.g., films and monoliths, including powders). It contains complicated physical variations and chemical reactions, but has been simply explained by several research groups. However, a current, exact understanding of such complicated systems should be given with respect to all the variations and reactions. In this article, I have mainly surveyed the exact EISA process by considering the difference between simple and controlled EISA processes on the basis of my own experiments. I believe that the insights are consequently helpful for obtaining highly ordered mesoporous materials with demanded morphologies.
