Long, homogeneous fiberlike SBA-15 mesoporous silica particles are prepared by fine adjustment of three reaction conditions--stirring temperature, stirring time, and amount of inorganic salt added--using Pluronic P123 and TEOS under acidic conditions. The addition of NaCl along with a short stirring time played an important role in controlling the morphology and pore characteristics. Dynamic adsorption performance for gaseous toluene was systematically evaluated using four types of materials with different morphologies and pore characteristics synthesized with the addition of a different amount of NaCl. Breakthrough curves showed that the longer the fiberlike structure, the longer the breakthrough time. Furthermore, it was found from the breakthrough times and the total amounts adsorbed that long particles with high microporosity offer effective adsorption performance and should be useful in applications such as toluene adsorption.

Rod-like, hexagonal and fiber-like SBA-15 mesoporous silicas were synthesized to support MnO for toluene oxidation. This study showed that the morphology of the supports greatly influenced the catalytic activity in toluene oxidation. MnO supported on rod-like SBA-15 (R-SBA-15) displayed the best catalytic activity and the conversion at 230°C reached more than 90%, which was higher than the other two catalysts.

Two kinds of multifunctional nanocomposites, SBA-15-NH2/Pd-p and SBA-15-NH2/Pd-f, with platelet-like and fiber-like morphologies, respectively, were fabricated by immobilizing Pd NPs onto amine-functionalized SBA-15. Some of the amino groups acted as anchoring sites for Pd NPs, whilst the remaining groups acted as Brønsted basic sites. As a result, the composites served as excellent multifunctional heterogeneous catalysts for one-pot multistep cascade reaction sequences.

Magnetic Fe(3)O(4)@mesoporous silica (MS) composites were synthesized by generating Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles in the mesoporous silica matrix using the sol-gel method in nitrogen atmosphere. The mesoporous silica hosts include SBA-15 particles owning highly ordered p6mm mesostructure, siliceous mesostructured cellular foams (MCFs), and fiber-like mesoporous silica (FMS) with unique pore structures. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and N(2) adsorption/desorption results show that Fe(3)O(4) functionalized MCFs and FMS possess suitable mesoporous structure for the adsorption of both small-molecular drug and large biomolecules.

A novel, versatile functional mesoporous material with the structure of SBA-15 but a specific 3D net-linked morphology has been prepared by using a facile method. This material has been assessed for its ability to reduce the level of nitrosamines in tobacco smoke so that the actual effect of this material in the reduction of carcinogenic environmental pollutants in a complex chemical system can be verified. By adjusting the force field during the hydrolysis and condensation processes of tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) in an aqueous reaction system, the SBA-15 silica, which has a special morphology in that it is long and fiberlike from a microscopic view but large and block-like from a macroscopic angle, has been successfully synthesized.
