Abstract

Highly ordered mesoporous aluminosilicate thin-films were prepared with unidirectional pore alignment. The films were templated from neutral polyethyelene oxide triblock copolymer surfactants. The mesoporous thin-films were characterised by a combination of low angle X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption BET and transmission electron microscopy analysis. These films were successfully used as hosts for the supercritical fluid deposition of perpendicularly oriented nanowire arrays.
