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

Efficient dual functionality of highly porous nanocomposites based on TiO2 and noble metal particles
Lucian Baia,Lucian Diamandescu,Lucian Barbu-Tudoran,A. Peter,Georgian Melinte,Virginia Danciu,Monica Baia +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, porous nanocomposites based on TiO 2 aerogels and Au and, respectively, Ag particles were synthesized and their dual functionality to decontaminate water via photocatalysis, and to detect low concentrations of pollutants from water, via SERS technique, was evaluated using model pollutants.

A review on the emerging resilient and multifunctional ceramic aerogels
TL;DR: In this paper, a class of resilient ceramic aerogels with highly porous architectures that are composed of one- or two-dimensional nanostructures has been prepared, which exhibit reversible compressibility, high-temperature stability, thermal insulation, and various functions.

Textural characterization of high temperature silica aerogels
TL;DR: In this article, the texture and the structural evolution of xero-and aerogels were studied by thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and N 2 physisorption at 77 K.

Self-assembly of methylzinc-polyethylene glycol amphiphiles and their application to materials synthesis.
TL;DR: Amphiphilic molecules have proven to be of extraordinaryvalue because they are characterized bytwolinked molecular parts, which have different solvent compatibilities.
