Due to their unique properties such as high surface area, uniform and adjustable pore structure, and permeability of various molecules within and on their surface, mesoporous materials have become of interest in various fields including electronics, separation, catalysis, medical applications such as implant coatings and drug delivery. Mesoporous SiO2/ TiO2 particles were synthesized by sol-gel method using various amounts of surfactant cetyl tri methyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as structure directing agent under acidic condition; moreover, hexane was applied as a swelling agent. The samples were investigated using XRD, SEM, FTIR, SEM and N2 adsorption-desorption analyses, in addition, the incremental effect of surfactant and hexane were examined. The results obtained from the analysis clarified that an increase in amount of surfactant will lead to .. Read More»
