Abstract
A unique hierarchically structured silica directed by simple hydrolytic condensation of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) on aggregates of linear poly(ethylenemine) (LPEI) incorporated with acidic and basic additives was described. Interestingly, the shapes of the resulting silicas showed nanofiber-based plate, bundle, sphere, flower and stick upon the additives, such as HCl, ammonia, Tetra(4-sulfophenyl)porphyrin (TSPP), bifunctional organic acids. All the additives are relations in the proton transfer with LPEI in aqueous media thus induce the corresponding aggregates of the LPEI. Silicification just occurs on the aggregates to give the structured silica.
