Preparation, surface modification of mesoporous silica, and its application to the polymer synthesis were reviewed. The template synthesis of mesoporous materials by using surfactants and block copolymers were first introduced. The surface modification within the mesoporous interior was classified into two type reactions: Cocondensation of tetraalkoxysilane with functional molecules having silane coupling parts. The Grignard reagent-utilized functionalization of mesoporous material was also introduced with the analysis of the functionalization efficiency by IR spectroscopy. The application of the functionalized mesoporous materials to the polymer synthesis, especially controlled synthesis, was introduced.
