... available in the literature.10,11 It is reported that the ratio of the silica source to the surfactant ratio and the pH of the synthesis gel can greatly influence the characteristics of the resulting ... amounts of C1– ions. Therefore, for the partial dehydration of PEO units, the volume of the hydrophilic part of the micelle decreases. This leads to an increase in the hydrophobic region or ... materials as they generally control the formation of micelles during the synthesis. 8 Hence, many aspects of the synthesis processes are involved in developing these porous materials, and they still...
