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

Plant oil-based shape memory polymer using acrylic monolith
TL;DR: In this paper, an acrylic monolith bearing oxirane groups was prepared via simple technique that involved the dissolution of poly(glycidyl methacrylate-comethyl methacelate) (PGMA) in ethanolic-aqueous solution by heating and subsequent cooling.

Fabrication and characterization of the monolithic hydrophobic alumina aerogels
TL;DR: The monolithic hydrophobic mesoporous alumina aerogels were successfully synthesized by acid-base sol-gel polymerization of aluminium chloride hexahydrate (AlCl3·6H2O) in deionized water/alcohol solution (v/v = 3:7) as discussed by the authors.

Aerogels for Optofluidic Waveguides
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the literature on the use of aerogels for optofluidic waveguide applications is presented in this paper, where possible techniques to fabricate channels in aerogel monoliths are discussed and methods to make the channel surfaces hydrophobic are described in detail.
