Abstract
Argon plasma is used to generate the mesoporous silica thin films from sol-gel-derived precursor. Poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG, MW=400) is employed as the template, i.e., the pore directing-agent as well as the binder. The influence of the plasma parameters on the mesoscopic properties of silica films are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FT-IR, low-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and nitrogen isotherm adsorption.
