Lithography-assisted alignment control for preparation of mesoporous silica films with uniaxially oriented mesochannels.
We report the lithography-assisted alignment control of one-dimensional (1D) mesochannels. The effectiveness on both nonionic and cationic surfactants is discussed, and a continuous film with fully uniaxially oriented mesochannels is also successfully prepared.
