Abstract

A novel cubic bicontinuous morphology is found in polymer-ceramic nanocomposites and mesoporous aluminosilicates that are derived by an amphiphilic diblock copolymer used as a structure-directing agent for an inorganic aluminosilicate. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was employed to identify the Im3m crystallographic symmetry of the materials by fitting individual Bragg peak positions in the two-dimensional X-ray images.
