Hi, guys. Recently, I was doing research on mesoporous silica. I used the traditional ingredient to synthesis it, namely TEOS, CTAB, ammounia aqueous, ethanol and water. To my surprise, when I washed the obtained mesoporous silica with dialyze, it disappeared after about 16-18h!! So I just wonder does the formed Si-O-Si network dissolve in water gradually?

Thank you
