The discovery of periodic mesoporous MCM-41 and related molecular sieves has attracted
significant attention from a fundamental as well as applied perspective. They possess well …

The discovery of mesoporous molecular sieves, MCM-41, which possesses a regular
hexagonal array of uniform pore openings, aroused a worldwide resurgence in this field …

MCM-41 periodic mesoporous silicates were synthesized using cetyltrimethylammonium
bromide, and their pore sizes were tailored by postsynthesis hydrothermal treatment method …

MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves were synthesized at low temperature (343K) in the
presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMABr) and subjected to postsynthesis …

Purely siliceous MCM-41 materials with different pore sizes were synthesised. The obtained
nitrogen isotherms of these materials varied from a “type I-like” isotherm (small pore size) …

The synthesis of highly ordered cubic mesoporous silica MCM-48 with tunable pore sizes in
the range 1.6− 3.8 nm is reported. Pore size control has been achieved by using (mixtures …

Mesoporous molecular sieves of MCM-48 type were prepared by conventional hydrothermal
and novel room temperature syntheses. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies have …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the discovery of ExxonMobil's M41S family of
mesoporous molecular sieves. The quest for new molecular sieves in the late 1980's led a …

Silicate mesoporous materials have received widespread interest because of their potential
applications as supports for catalysis, separation, selective adsorption, novel functional …

By the combination of prior knowledge, observation skills, and novel synthetic approaches,
we discovered a family of mesoporous molecular sieves including discrete structures–MCM …
