Determination of pore structure in highly porous silica oxide powders


EMSL Project ID
9802

Abstract

The performance of self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports (SAMMS) in many applications is greatly dependent on the nanoscale structure of the mesoporous support material used. The objective of this work is to understand ordering and pore structure in silica oxide powders synthesized by inorganic crystallization around micellar arrays in an effort to optimize the synthetic process.
