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

Numerical modeling of the gas-contributed thermal conductivity of aerogels
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced a novel numerical methodology for computing the gas-contributed thermal conductivity of aerogels by analyzing their microstructural characteristics and heat transfer mechanism of the thermal coupling between the gas phase and the solid backbone of the system.

Efficient preparation of crack-free, low-density and transparent polymethylsilsesquioxane aerogels via ambient pressure drying and surface modification
TL;DR: In this paper, a mature technique was applied to modify the surfaces of polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) gels with terminal silane groups to reduce hydrophilic surface silanol groups without strengthening the skeletons.

Enhancing the optical transparency of TiO2 aerogels with high surface area through water-based synthesis
TL;DR: In this paper, a sol-gel method was used to synthesize transparent TiO2 aerogels with a specific surface area as high as 735m2/g, which can be used in a wide range of optoelectronic applications including photovoltaics, photocatalysis and optical sensing.

Porous cross-linked polyimide-urea networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a porous cross-linked polyimide-urea network is proposed, consisting of a subunit comprising two anhydride end-capped polyamic acid oligomers in direct connection via a urea linkage.
