Abstract

Large monoliths with periodic mesopores in a macroporous web-like network structure are prepared using a diol-modified silane as silica precursor and lyotropic liquid crystalline phases of surfactants in water as structure-directing agents. The surfactant concentration is varied from 5 to 40wt%. Highly porous materials are synthesized applying two different drying procedures: supercritical drying with CO2 or ethanol, in addition to ambient pressure drying including surfactant expulsion via silanisation treatments with trimethylchlorosilane or hexamethyl disilazane. The monolithic materials show a very unique macro- and mesostructure which is characterized by N2-sorption measurements, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
