Abstract:
Amino-functionalized SBA-15 type mesoporous silicas having unique hexagonal platelet morphologies with short channels (100-300 nm) running parallel to the thickness of the nanostructured hexagonal platelet type morphologies have been directly synthesized by co-condensation of aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and sodium metasilicate as a silica source in the presence of Pluronic P123 triblock copolymer as a structure directing agent.
