AB  - Work on the synthesis and characterization of acidic wormhole-like ordered 
      mesoporous borosilicate thin films (MBSTFs) on silicon wafers is described in 
      this paper. The MBSTFs coated by the dip-coating method were prepared through an 
      evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) process using nonionic block copolymers 
      as structure-directing agents. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy 
      confirmed the formation of borosiloxane bonds (Si-O-B). High-resolution 
      transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and N2 sorption evidenced a 
      wormhole-like mesoporous structure in the MBSTFs obtained. Scanning electron 
      microscopy (SEM) images of the cross sections and surfaces of the samples showed 
      that MBSTFs on silicon wafers were continuous, homogeneous and did not crack. The 
      acidic properties of the MBSTFs were characterized by FT-IR spectra of 
      chemisorbed pyridine. The MBSTFs thus prepared may find their future applications 
      in many fields including chemical sensors, catalysis, optical coating, molecule 
      separation, etc.
