Abstract
Polymer-encapsulated silica: An imidazolium-based room-temperature ionic liquid (PyC12MIM+Br−) bearing a terminal pyrrole group was synthesized. Using this novel polymerizable surfactant as a template in a sol–gel process, highly ordered hexagonal mesoporous silica, containing aligned superlong polypyrrole nanowires, was successfully fabricated within the silica channels (see picture).
