Multiscale model for the templated synthesis of mesoporous silica: the essential role of silica oligomers

A detailed theoretical understanding of the synthesis mechanism of periodic mesoporous silica has not yet been achieved. We present results of a multiscale simulation strategy that, for the first time, describes the molecular-level processes behind the formation of silica/surfactant mesophases in th...
