A low-cost, efficient method of preparing hierarchically ordered structures by filling a mold with a self-assembling mixture of hydrolyzed inorganic species and amphiphilic block copolymers and applying pressure to the mixture. Polymerization of the inorganic species within the mixture results in a mesoscopically...http://www.google.ca/patents/US6716378?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US6716378 - Method for forming hierarchically ordered porous oxides
