TLDR
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.read more

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).
