We reported the synthesis of mesoporous silica materials with the am- phiphilic ABC triblock terpolymer polyethylene-poly(ethylene oxide)-polycaprolactone(PE-PEO-PCL) as a template and tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) as a silica source. Increasing the hydrophilic head group(PEO) led to the decrease of packing parameter g, which gave rise to the mesophase transformation from a cylindrical two-dimensional hexagonal P6mm structure to a cage-type face centered cubic closed-packing mesostructure. This new templating route provided a new insight into the template factor governed inorganic-organic self-assembly mesophases.展开更多
