“…7,11,12 For example, hydrocarbon chains with or without functional groups can be anchored in the pores of periodically-ordered mesoporous silicas (e.g., MCM-41, SBA-15). 13,14 However, other synthesis methods do not allow independent control of polarity and textural properties. 7,14,15 Co-condensation is a powerful strategy to separate these effects, since two or more different types of (organo)silane precursors can be incorporated in varying amounts, while controlling the morphology through the use of a templating agent.…”
