Porous materials via nanocasting procedures: innovative materials and learning about soft-matter organization.

چکیده
Nanocasting, the 3D-transformation of self-assembled organic nanostructures into hollow inorganic replicas under preservation of fine structural details has recently turned out to be a versatile tool, both for the synthesis of porous media with new pore topology as well as for the characterization of the assembled structures themselves. This review gives a review on recent work describing the potential and restrictions of nanocasting using surfactants, polymers, colloids as well as supramolecular tectons as porogens.

Preparation of Porous Silica Materials via Sol-Gel Nanocasting of Nonionic Surfactants: A Mechanistic Study on the Self-Aggregation of Amphiphiles for the Precise Prediction of the Mesopore Size
Sol-gel nanocasting is used to imprint the soft-matter structures of lyotropic phases of nonionic n-alkylpoly(ethylene oxide) amphiphiles (“CxEy”) into solid porous silica. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), nitrogen sorption, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to investigate the dependence of the porosity on the block lengths or the block volumes, respectively. It is found t...
متن کاملFrom Cyclodextrin Assemblies to Porous Materials by Silica Templating We thank the Max-Planck society for funding.
Since the discovery by Beck, Vartuli et al.[1, 2] that ordered mesoporous silicas, such as MCM-41, can be obtained by surfactant templating, the development of new porous materials and porogens as well as the characterization of the resulting structures has become one of the most promising fields in modern materials chemistry.[3±5] Meanwhile, these observations have been extended to a number of...
متن کاملHierarchical Phenolic Resin-based Carbons with High Surface Area and Pore Volume Obtained by Soft-templating and Activation
Introduction Advanced applications often require carbons with high surface area and hierarchical porous structures. In response to this demand some efforts have been undertaken to create materials, which effectively combine the properties of both activated carbons (high surface area) and ordered mesoporous carbons (tunable and well-developed porosity). While there are activation methods, which ...
متن کاملCoupling of elasticity to capillarity in soft aerated materials.
We study the elastic properties of soft solids containing air bubbles. Contrary to standard porous materials, the softness of the matrix allows for a coupling of the matrix elasticity to surface tension forces acting on the bubble surface. Thanks to appropriate experiments on model systems, we demonstrate how the elastic response of the soft porous solid is governed by two dimensionless paramet...
متن کاملMixed micellar phases of nonmiscible surfactants: mesoporous silica with bimodal pore size distribution via the nanocasting process.
Highly organized mesoporous silica monoliths were reproducibly prepared by nanocasting mixtures of fluorinated nonionic surfactants and micelles of two hydrocarbon block copolymers. It is the special feature of this fluorocarbon/hydrocarbon template mixture that they form not mixed micelles but individual micelles instead. By careful analysis of the pore architectures by gas sorption measuremen...
