Modern computer microprocessor chips are marvels of engineering complexity. For the
current 45 nm technology node, there may be nearly a billion transistors on a chip barely 1 …

In this review we present a short overview of the main fields of application of mesoporous
ordered films obtained via templating self-assembly. These materials, because of their very …

This review presents an extensive discussion on the major advances in the field of
periodically organized mesoporous thin films (POMTFs) obtained via surfactant templated …

Mesoordered silica thin films with cubic structures were prepared by evaporation induced
self-assembly (EISA) with two types of structuring agent (CTAB and block copolymer F127) …

Porous polysilsesquioxane gels derived from sol–gel systems based on trifunctional silanes
are reviewed. Although it is well known that trifunctional silanes possess inherent difficulties …

This review discussed the design and different synthetic routes that lead to hybrid thin films
that have a periodically organised porosity. The mechanism of formation, the role of the …

Electronics, and nanoelectronics in particular, represent one of the most promising branches
of technology. The search for novel and more efficient materials seems to be natural here …

Mesoporous films containing organic or biological functions within an organised array of
cavities are produced by combining sol–gel, self‐assembly of supramolecular templates and …

A unified nonlocal strain gradient beam model with the thickness effect is developed to
investigate the static bending behavior of micro/nano-scale porous beams. Size-dependent …

Novel aerogels and xerogels with methylsilsesquioxane (MSQ, CH 3 SiO 1.5) networks have
been prepared by a modified sol–gel process using surfactant and urea as a phase …
