Surfactant‐Templated Mesoporous Materials: From Inorganic to Hybrid to Organic

Poring over materials: Over the past decade, surfactant-directed self-assembly (see scheme) has led to numerous inorganic and hybrid mesoporous materials. Recently, this process was extended to organic materials: mesoporous polymers were prepared from oligomers by using Pluronic surfactants. This approach allows the design of novel and functional materials for broad applications.
