The influence of salt in the formation of carboxylic functionalized mesoporous silica
Carboxylic group functionalized mesoporous silicas (CFMSs) were synthesized using cationic Gemini surfactant (C18-3-1) as structure director and an anionic co-structure directing agents (CSDA). Well ordered mixture of CCP (Fm3തm) and HCP (P63/mmc), and cubic Fd3തm structures were obtained. Non-uniform morphologies were observed. This thesis has been focused on the salt influence on the formation o
