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

The economics of thermal superinsulation in buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived an equation to quantify the cost to create additional floor space using super-insulation materials as opposed to conventional thermal insulators and showed that, from a financial perspective, the use of superinsulation such as silica aerogel or vacuum insulation panels is already clearly profitable in several major cities globally.

Cellulose Gels and Microgels: Synthesis, Service, and Supramolecular Interactions
Pingping Li,Ruigang Liu +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview of recent research on cellulose-based gels and microgels cross-linked by and/or subject to supramolecular interactions, in which native cellulose, regenerated cellulOSE, cellulose derivatives, and cellulose graft copolymers are used as the building blocks.
