Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The preparation of surfactant-templated periodic mesoporous silica thin films functionalized with N-((trimethoxysilyl)propyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (TMAC) is described. The supramolecular self-assembly of the triblock copolymer, Pluronic 123, served as a template for the formation of these functionalized silane films. In the as-prepared and extracted conditions, the films exhibited the p6 mm type hexagonal mesostructure with a large unit cell (a = 8.5-9.6 nm). Contraction of the films during heat treatment (250 °C for 2 h) reduced the pore spacing perpendicular to the substrate yielding Fm3m pore ordering, confirmed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Ellipsometry measurements revealed the films to have thickness of ∼400 nm in the as-prepared condition and ∼300 nm in the heat-treated condition, a total shrinkage of∼25% perpendicular to the substrate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements showed the incorporation of the TMAC to be 76-90% of the amount initially added following surfactant extraction.
