Thermal and mechanical properties of hexagonal micelle-templated silica (MTS) (Eke MCM-41, SBA-3, SBA-15) are critical features for their application as catalysts and catalyst supports. Care should be taken in the interpretation of catalytic results which strongly depend on MTS stability. A decrease in conversion of more than 60% in a reaction of n-hexadecane isomerization has been observed by compressing NITS beyond a critical crushing pressure. Stability data have already been reported in literature, but they are extremely scattered, and can only be understood if the synthesis conditions which control the properties of NITS are taken into account. We show in this study that thermal stability is strongly dependent on wall thickness, a property which can be controlled by adjusting the alkalinity and the surfactant/silica ratio in the synthesis. The crushing of MTS under uniaxial compression follows the same mechanism as macroscopic hexagonal honeycomb structure. Their crushing strength varies as the square of the ratio between wall thickness and cell parameter. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
