Abstract
Abstract Three orientations to choose from : 2D hexagonal organically functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles with tunable mesochannel orientation (straight, helical, and radial mesochannels) were synthesized through a simple addition of various amounts of ureidopropyltrimethoxylsilane (UDPTMS) in the condensation of tetraorthosilicate (TEOS) in aqueous solution. magnified image
