METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE MORPHOLOGY OF MESOPOROUS SILICA PARTICLES

摘要

The present invention relates to novel mesoporous silica particles and to a process of manufacture thereof. The invention also relates to the use of a bile acid or an alkali metal cation salt thereof, in the synthesis of mesoporous silica particles. The present invention finds application in the fields of materials formulations, medical and biological applications, catalysis, adsorption techniques or templating of soft and hard materials.
