Presents the formation of ordered microporous silicates by the solvent evaporation method using single chain surfactant templates, which are the most popular templating agents in the synthesis of ordered mesoporous silicates. Control of the pore size using templates with different chain lengths of carbon; First demonstation of the solvent evaporation method to form the silica/surfactant nanocomposite by dip-coating and then applied to form mesoporous silica thin films with hexagonal or cubic structure
