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

Robust urethane-bridged silica aerogels available for water-carved aerosculptures
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of robust molecular bridged silica aerogels were prepared by using a symmetrical urethane-bridged monomer, named N,N-bis(propyltriethoxysilyl)carbamide (bPTSCA), which was synthesized via a solvent-free exothermic reaction between 3-isocyanatopropyltrieethoxyilane (IPTES) and 3-aminopropyloxysilane(APTES), for several minutes at normal temperature and pressure.

Plant oil-based green composite using porous poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)
TL;DR: In this paper, a plant oil-based green composite was developed using a porous bacterial polyester, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), which was prepared via a simple technique that involves the dissolution of the polymer in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by heating and then subsequent cooling.

Cluster-based holey semiconductors.
TL;DR: Semiconducting open-framework chalcogenides are a logical and very attractive extension to porous oxide-based materials (insulators or wide-band gap materials), as they combine the size and shape selectivity with the electrical function of the material.

A Robust, Flexible, Hydrophobic, and Multifunctional Pressure Sensor Based on an MXene/Aramid Nanofiber (ANF) Aerogel Film.
Bin Yang,Lin Wang,Ruixue Pang,Bao Long Yuan,Jiaojun Tan,Shunxi Song,Jingyi Nie,Meiyun lt Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a composite aerogel film sensor with an internal three-dimensional (3D) microporous and hierarchical structure is successfully fabricated by the self-assembly of aramid nanofiber (ANF) and conductive MXene by vacuum-assisted filtration and ice crystal growth.
