	abstract = {<p>A truly in situ and simple method is developed for nanoparticle incorporation within the mesochannels of SBA-15 involving dispersion of metal precursors in surfactant-modified polymer micelles. The diffusion of the precursor within the micellar structure is aided by interaction with the cationic head group of the surfactant leading to a unique method to facilitate the formation of highly disperse, uniform nanoparticles molded by the walls of the mesochannels. The nanoparticle incorporated mesoporous material has a highly enhanced surface area and adsorption capabilities in comparison to its parent materials without any pore blockage which makes this method ideal for the preparation of nanocatalysts.</p>},
