AB  - Control over morphology and internal mesostructure of surfactant templated 
      silicas remains a challenge, especially when considering scaling laboratory 
      syntheses up to industrial volumes. Here we report a method combining 
      emulsification with the evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method for 
      preparing spherical, mesoporous silica particles. This emulsion and solvent 
      evaporation (ESE) method has several potential advantages over classic 
      precipitation routes: it is easily scaled while providing superior control over 
      stoichiometric homogeneity of templating surfactants and inorganic precursors, 
      and particle sizes and distributions are determined by principles developed for 
      manipulating droplet sizes within water-in-oil emulsions. To demonstrate the 
      method, triblock copolymer P104 is used as a templating amphiphile, generating 
      unusually well-ordered 2D hexagonal (P6mm) mesoporous silica, while particle 
      sizes and morphologies were controlled by varying the type of emulsifier and the 
      method for emulsification.
