THE preparation of highly porous materials by sol–gel processing followed by supercritical drying was pioneered by Kistler in 19311. These materials, called aerogels and comprising …
THE pathways by which silicate minerals transform to solutes, clays and amorphous solids are relevant to a wide range of natural, industrial and even medical concerns. For example …
SURFACTANT assemblies can function as templates for the deposition of silicates to form mesoporous silicas1. Recently we described a surfactant-templated synthesis of oriented …

The synthesis of inorganic frameworks with specified and organized pore networks is of potential importance in catalysis1, 2, separation technology3 and biomaterials …
Downward fluxes of biogenic silica and organic matter in the global ocean derive dominantly from the productivity of diatoms—phytoplankton with cell walls containing silica encased in …
Surfactant-mediated synthesis strategies are widely used to fabricate ordered mesoporous solids,,,,, in the form of metal oxides, metals, carbon and hybrid organosilicas,,,,. These …
