Abstract
A lamellar-mesostructured silica has been synthesized by using poly(ethylene glycol) distearate as template in ethanol solution. Highly ordered lamellar mesostructure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction pattern, transmission electronic microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm. The material obtained in this work has a large interlayer distance, and good thermal and mechanical stabilities, which can favor the preparation of the in situ polymerized nanocomposites based on intercalation of polymers in the lamellar-mesostructured silica.
