Abstract

Organically modified aluminosilicate mesostructures were synthesized from two metal alkoxides with the use of poly(isoprene- b -ethyleneoxide) block copolymers (PI-b-PEO) as the structure-directing molecules. By increasing the fraction of the inorganic precursors with respect to the polymer, morphologies expected from the phase diagrams of diblock copolymers were obtained. The length scale of the microstructures and the state of alignment were varied using concepts known from the study of block copolymers. These results suggest that the use of higher molecular weight block copolymer mesophases instead of conventional low–molecular weight surfactants may provide a simple, easily controlled pathway for the preparation of various silica-type mesostructures that extends the accessible length scale of these structures by about an order of magnitude.

  30. The prehydrolyzed sol was prepared by mixing GLYMO and Al(OBu s ) 3 at 273 K and adding 15% of the stoichiometric amount of water required for the complete hydrolysis of the metal alkoxide groups. The water contained HCl in a molar ratio (relative to the metal alkoxides) of 3.6 × 10 –5 :1. After 15 min of stirring the temperature was raised to 295 K. After a further 15 min the residual water for the complete hydrolysis of the alkoxide groups was added and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour and then poured into the block copolymer solution.

  45. The decrease of the lamellar spacing is exclusively attributable to convex bending of the liquid-like lamellar surface. Two driving forces must be considered: surface tension (up to a critical ratio of lamella thickness to section thickness the free lamella surface decreases upon bending) and entropy [partial relaxation of entropically unfavorable chain conformation (stretched chains in lamellae in bulk)]. For details see A. Du Chesne thesis University of Mainz (1993).
