Shear-induced alignment and nanowire silica synthesis in a rigid crystalline surfactant mesophase.

Highly aligned stringlike silica nanostructures are obtained through templated synthesis in the columnar hexagonal structure of a rigid crystalline surfactant mesophase. A two-step procedure is used to first shear-align the surfactant mesophase and then conduct synthesis under quiescent conditions in the mesophase. The mesophase retains its alignment for extended periods, allowing materials syn...

Study of Silanolate Groups (SiO-) in Synthesis of Micelle Templated Silica with Various Condition of Cationic Surfactant

Based on the {S+, I-} pathway, the concentration of surfactant and surface charge density of silanolate groups control the phase transition from lamellar, to hexagonal through cubic form. The high surface charge density of silanolate groups was observed for the lamellar phase. With decrease of molar concentration of surfactant on the gel, the yield of...

Core-shell nanoparticles for medical applications: effects of surfactant concentration on the characteristics and magnetic properties of magnetite-silica nanoparticles

Objective(s): The use of cationic surface-active agents (surfactant) in the synthesis of nanoparticles, with formation of micelle, can act as a template for the formation of meso-porous silica. Changes in the concentration of surfactants can affect the structures and properties of the resulting nanoparticles.Materials and Methods: Magnetite nanoparticles were prepared as cores using the c...

Aqueous Stability of Mesoporous Silica Films Doped or Grafted with Aluminum Oxide

Surfactant-templated silica thin films are potentially important materials for applications such as chemical sensing. However, a serious limitation for their use in aqueous environments is their poor hydrolytic stability. One convenient method of increasing the resistance of mesoporous silica to water degradation is addition of alumina, either doped into the pore walls during material synthesis...
