By means of TEM, SDP, 29Si NMR etc analysis, the behavior of the Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) Polypropylene Oxide (PPO) Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) as organic modifier on SiO2 sol gel in the basic media was investigated; the effects on sol particle growth and network &morphology control were discussed in detail, and then the model on sol particle growing was suggested on the basis of growth unit theory of anion coordinate polyhedron. The results showed that PEO PPO PEO additive limited particle growth but also restrained particle agglomeration and then made the SiO2 sol high stable. It was found that the action of EPE was similar to that of organic structure directing agent and made the sol cluster cross linked branch network.
Organically modified MSU- x mesophases containing phenyl, ureidopropyl and methyl along with phenyl two moieties were directly prepared by one- pot synthesis method. Their texture and surface properties were characterized by means of XRD, HRTEM, FT- IR, N2 adsorption/desorption, 29Si CPMAS NMR、 13C CPMAS NMR and the microscopic structure was also characterized by small angle X- ray scattering (SAXS) using synchrotron radiation as X- ray source. The results showed that SAXS profiles were hardly constant with Porod′ s law showing a negative slope, i.e. negative deviations (see fig.3). This suggested that the organic groups covalently linked with the matrix of mesoporous silica formed an interfacial layers, which led to the scattering of the pore distortion and gave a negative diviation from Porod′ s law. The average thickness of the interfacial layer in each sample was further obtained by analyzing this deviation. SAXS analysis also showed that the organically functionalized MSU- X displayed mass fractal and the uniform distribution of the organic groups within the mesoporous channels, implying that it′ s formation was a non- equilibrium and non- linear process.
