Abstract
Synthesis of mesoporous alumina made by nanocasting using polymer spheres matrix is reported. In contrast to all other recipes described in the literature so far, mesoporous alumina prepared by the nanocasting method consists of irregularly ordered particles exhibiting pores of ca. 25 nm in size. The void volume among the particles constitutes a porous system with narrow pore size distribution in the mesopore region.
Keywords: Mesoporous alumina; Sphere templating route; Nanocasting.
