Comparative study of the porosity induced by CTAB and Tween as silica templates

In this study doped-silicon polymers were synthesized using the non-ionic surfactant Tween 80 as template. The obtained material was compared with silicates doped with the cationic surfactant CTAB. Both materials were synthesized by sol-gel process with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as silicon source. In...
