✦ Synopsis

Menthol templated vinyl-functionalized organosilica materials were prepared by acid catalyzed hydrolytic sol-gel reactions of tetraethyl orthosilicate and vinyltriethoxysilane. The menthol template was removed by sublimation under vacuum, leading to the formation of a mesoporous organosilica material. This work presents a solventless, low temperature method of extraction of template from mesoporous materials. For the first time, sublimation was demonstrated to be an effective means of template removal to generate a mesoporous material. A comparison of sublimation and solvent extraction as template removal methods is also presented.

Novel TiO 2 microcoils were obtained by coating TiO 2 layers on the carbon microcoil templates by using a sol-gel process. The preparation conditions, morphologies, microstructure, and some properties were examined. It was found that helical TiO 2 fibers, including TiO 2 microcoils (TMCs) or TiO 2 m
