Abstract

ABSTRACTOrganic/inorganic hybrid mesoporous films exhibiting ordered mesophases were prepared by a simple dip-coating procedure. Beginning with a homogeneous solution of tetraethoxysilane, organoalkoxysilane ((R'Si(OR)3, R' is a non-hydrolyzable functional ligand) surfactant, we relied on solvent evaporation to induce micellization and continuous self-assembly into hybrid silica-surfactant thin film mesophases. Surface acoustic wave (SAW)-based nitrogen sorption measurements indicate that the films have high surface areas and unimodal pore diameters after removal of surfactants.
