AB  - The control of the formation process during and after self-assembly is of utmost 
      importance to achieve well structured, controlled template-assisted mesoporous 
      titania materials with the desired properties for various applications via the 
      evaporation induced self-assembly method (EISA). The present paper reports on the 
      large influence of the thermal stabilization and successive template removal on 
      the pore structure of a mesostructured TiO(2) material using the diblock 
      copolymer Brij 58 as surfactant. A controlled thermal stabilization (temperature 
      and duration) allows one to tailor the final pore size and uniformity much more 
      precise by influencing the self-assembly of the template. Moreover, also the 
      successive thermal template removal needs to be controlled in order to avoid a 
      structural collapse. N(2)-sorption, TGA, TEM, FT-Raman spectroscopy, and small 
      angle & wide angle XRD have been used to follow the crystal growth and 
      mesostructure organization after thermal stabilization and after thermal template 
      removal, revealing its effect on the final pore structure.
