Abstract
A top-down/bottom-up approach has been developed to fabricate mesoporous silica with well-aligned mesochannels of controlled orientation by means of cooperative assembly of an amphiphilic triblock copolymer (P123) and silica species within lithographically designed confined nanospaces. Some mesochannel patterns that can be prepared by this technique are shown schematically in the picture. TEOS=tetraethoxysilane.
