The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters and the reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.
Abstract
Air, air, air… and some solid skeleton; this is the basis for an interesting class of materials-the aerogels (shown schematically on the right). Can one therefore speak of "simple" chemistry? The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters. The reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.

Effect of the silica texture on grafting metallocene catalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of hybrid supported catalysts were prepared by sequentially grafting Cp 2 ZrCl 2 and ( n BuCp) 2 ZRCl 2 (1:3 ratio) onto synthesized xerogel, aerogel and commercial silicas.

Polydicyclopentadiene aerogels grafted with PMMA: II. Nanoscopic characterization and origin of macroscopic deformation

TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that particles coalescence is driven by non-covalent interactions that squeeze deformable secondary particles of one fractal assembly inside the empty space of another.

Engineering Strength, Porosity, and Emission Intensity of Nanostructured CdSe Networks by Altering the Building-Block Shape

TL;DR: Altering the shape of the building block from which nanostructured networks are assembled is an effective way to tune the basic properties of metal chalcogenide semiconducting aerogels.

Strong, compressible, bendable and stretchable silicone sponges by solvent-controlled hydrolysis and polycondensation of silanes

TL;DR: A simple method for the preparation of strong, compressible, bendable and stretchable (SCBS) silicone sponges, which show high stability in a wide range of temperature (-196 to 300 °C).
