Modeling Self-Assembly of Silica/Surfactant Mesostructures in the Templated Synthesis of Nanoporous Solids

A novel coarse-grained (CG) model to study the self-assembly of silica/surfactant mesostructures during the synthesis of periodic mesoporous silica is reported. Molecular dynamics simulations of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (also called cetyltrimethy-lammonium bromide, or CTAB) surfactants in...
