title: Engineering of mesostructured silicas by pseudomorphism.
abstract: Pseudomorphic transformation is introduced as an effective and versatile method to independently optimize the morphology of the grains and the structural properties of mesostructured silicas. In this account a short overview is given of the preparation of MCM-41 and MCM-48 mesophases as non-aggregated and homogeneously distributed particles with sizes ranging from 5 to 800 microm.
