Abstract

[15] This is a high-concentration synthesis in which the solidified inorganic compound is a copy of the original phase structure, that is its structure is predetermined by the selection of the template phase. They used lyotropic liquid-crystalline phases, derived from surfactants or–later–block copolymers, [15±17]
