The synthesis of mechanically stable mesoporous silicaswith large pores can be achieved by casting the lyotropic phases of amphiphilic block copolymers. Here is presented new non-ionic polymer templates that allow larger pore diameters than previously reported with this procedure. In the Figure is depicted a silica with 63 nm diameter cylindrical pores.
