title: Engineered complex emulsion system: toward modulating the pore length and morphological architecture of mesoporous silicas.
abstract: In the complex alkane/P123/TEOS/H2O emulsion system, an emulsion engineering method to modulate pore length and morphological architecture of mesoporous materials has been built. With fine tuning of the synthetic parameters (e.g., the composition of the synthetic mixtures, temperature, stirring, etc.), a series of chemically significant mesostructures (i.e., short-pore SBA-15 materials) with tunable pore length and morphological architecture have been successfully constructed. The effects of alkane solubilizates on pore length and particle morphology are discussed. The resulting short-pore materials would have potential applications in the fields of adsorption/separation of biomolecules and inclusion chemistry of guest species, etc.
