These methods include controlling the nucleation rate and growth of block-copolymer-templated silica domains to yield macroscopically aligned mesostructured materials, and forming patterned mesostructured films or monoliths with control over the direction of alignment of a hexagonally-packed, block-copolymer-directed mesostructure across macroscopic lengths scales are described. Self-assembled materials with controlled orientational ordering are described, including those that contain a surfactant or block-copolymer species, and materials that include an organic (e.g., resin) or inorganic (e.g., silica or titania) network-forming component.06-25-2009
20090258213CARBON MATERIALS WITH INTERCONNECTED PORES - Methods of forming an electrically-conductive mesoporous carbon structure with interconnected pores or highly interconnected pores, and the resulting structures are described. The structure is formed by providing a mesoporous template, filling the mesopores with an organic precursor, polymerizing the organic precursor, pyrolyzing the polymerized organic precursor, and etching away the template.10-15-2009
20100311856MOLECULAR OPTIMIZATION OF MULTIPLY-FUNCTIONALIZED MESOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS - A material and method for producing mesostructured materials with multiple functionalities that are independently adjustable and collectively optimizable is provided. The method uses a series of discrete synthesis steps under otherwise mutually incompatible conditions, e.g., from acidic, alkaline, and/or non-aqueous solutions, allows different functionalities to be introduced to the materials and optimized. To illustrate the method, cubic mesoporous silica films were prepared from strongly acidic solutions that were separately functionalized under highly alkaline conditions to incorporate hydrophilic aluminosilica moieties and under non-aqueous conditions to introduce perfluorosulfonic-acid surface groups.12-09-2010
