3. MESOCHEMISTRYSYNTHESIS IN “INTERMEDIATE” DIMENSIONS • Purpose of the four lectures • Introduce key physicochemical design principles that underpin the template directed synthesis of inorganic mesoporous materials • Focus on synthetic control of structure, composition and form • Appreciate how the properties of materials fashioned at this intermediate length scale can be orchestrated to create a purposeful function directed to a specific field of use.

MILESTONES IN MESOPOROUS MATERIALS • Escape from the 1 nm prison (surfactant templated synthesis) • Diagnostics (structure, property) • Structure control (H, C, L, WH) • Template removal (calcination, ion exchange, solvent extraction, photocalcination, ozonolysis, microwave, lizard fragmentation) • Pore size control (surfactant, block copolymer, swelling additive) • Templating mechanism (micelle, liquid crystal) • Smart mesostructure (pore size expansion, metamorphic channels) • Free-standing and supported film (mesoepitaxy, pore orientation) • Topological defects (nucleation, growth, origin of curved pores and form) • Morphogenesis of curved shapes (fiber, discoid, gyroid, spiral, sphere)

17. MILESTONES IN MESOPOROUS MATERIALS • Nanomeso (nanoscale particles, nanocrystalline texture) • Biomimetics (biomineralization connection, hierarchy (nm-micron length scales), complexity, organic-inorganic nanocomposites or hybrids) • Panoscopic materials (global self-assembly over “all” scales, surfactants, block copolymers, opals) • Patterning (microcontact printing, micromolding in capillaries, microtransfer printing, ink jet printing, photolithography) • Smart guests (SC, M, OM, C, P) • Smart channels (terminal and bridging organofunctionality) • Beyond silica (metals, oxides, sulfides, phosphates, coordination, polymers) • Mesoreplication (carbons, metal oxides) • Function and utility (fuel cell, solar cell, battery, laser, low-k, controlled chemical and drug release, chemical/biosensor, electrochromic display, 1D Bragg photonic crystals, low refractive index optical cladding )
