ABSTRACTFormation of hierarchical macropores and mesopores in ethylene-bridged polysilsesquioxane sol-gel systems via concurrent sol-gel transition and phase separation induced by the incorporation of supramolecular templats has been investigated. A series of poly(ethylene-glycol)-poly(propyleneglycol)- poly(ethyleneglycol) triblock copolymers, EOPOEOs, have been employed as supramolecular templates, while 1,2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane was used as a polysilsesquioxane source. Successful combination of templated mesopores and well-defined macropores due to phase-separation has been found in the system with EOPOEOs having 70 PO units and respective 20 EO units. Although similar macroporous morphology has been obtained for all the EOPOEOs with EO chain longer or shorter than 20 units, the optimum composition for the co-continuous macropores and that for templated mesopores deviated from each other, resulting in the failure of producing hierarchical macropores and mesopores.

ABSTRACTMacroporous titania gels have been prepared by the sol-gel method starting from aqueous colloidal dispersion of titania. The use of titania sol instead of highly reactive titanium alkoxide allows us to control the rate of gelation. Macroporous morphology is formed when the transitional structure of phase separation is fixed as permanent structures by the sol-gel transition. The domain size can be controlled reproducibly by changing the starting composition. The crystal structure of the titania gel is transformed from anatase to rutile through the heat treatment at 900°C, while the macroporous morphology remains unchanged.

ABSTRACTBy inducing phase separation parallel to the sol-gel transition of alkoxy-derived silica systems, silica monoliths with well-defined co-continuous macropores were obtained from the systems containing anionic surfactants. We adopted three kinds of anionic surfactants which differ from each other in the length of alkyl chain (CH3(CH2)17SO3Na, CH3(CH2)15SO3Na, CH3(CH2)13SO3Na). Mesopores were also found in the silica skeletons presumably by the supramolecular templating. Characterization of the dried or heat-treated samples was carried out by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and nitrogen adsorption measurements. Experimental results showed that due to the moderate interaction between silica oligomers and surfactants, most of the surfactants are distributed to the solvent phase which determines the macropore volume. The median size and volume of the macropores could be controlled independently by the starting composition. In the absence of any additive to enhance templating by the surfactant, the samples exhibited only amorphous mesopores.
