Ia3d Cubic mesoporous silicas using EO(17)MA(23) diblock copolymers made from ATRP

Poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(methyl acrylate) diblock copolymer (EO(m)MA(n)) prepared via an atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) approach was used as a template to synthesize Ia3d mesostructured silica with thick walls under acidic conditions.
