Özet

The room-temperature synthesis of a macro–mesoporous silica material during the natural creaming process of an oil-in-water emulsion is reported. The material has 3-dimensional interconnected macropores with a strut-like structure similar to meso-cellular silica foams1 with mesoporous walls of worm-hole structure. The material has very high surface area (∼800 m2 g−1) with narrow mesopore size distribution. © 2003 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
