Synthesis of cubic Ia(3)over-bard-like mesostructured silica at low temperature using an oligomeric nonionic surfactant
A mesoporous silica having the cubic la (3) over bard structure similar to MCM-48 has been synthesized at low temperature using Brij 56 as surfactant in acidic media free of additives as evidenced by showing (211) and (220) reflection peaks in the XRD patterns and the same TEM images as MCM-48.
