Abstract

Gels with hierarchical well-defined macropores and supramolecularly templated mesopores have been synthesized in the systems of pure silica as well as organic-inorganic hybrids. Cationic surfactants such as alkyltrimethylammonium salts and nonionic surfactants such as poly(ethyleneglycol)-poly(propyleneglycol)- poly(ethyleneglycol) triblock copolymers, EOPOEO, were found to be effective for pure silica system both in inducing the phase separation to give macroporous morphology and in templating the mesopores within a narrow distribution width. The partial introduction of methyl-modified alkoxide into the pure silica system lead to increased phase separation tendency accompanied by the disturbance of the supramolecular templating of mesopores. By contrast, in the 1,2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane systems, poly(ethylene glycol) and EOPOEO were much better additive to induce phase separation in spite of the presence of internal hydrocarbon chain. Combination of well-defined macropores and supramolecularly templated mesopores has been achieved by selecting an appropriate molecular weight and concentration of EOPOEO in the starting composition.
