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

Highly elastic graphene oxide–epoxy composite aerogels via simple freeze-drying and subsequent routine curing
Shibing Ye,Jiachun Feng,Peiyi Wu +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, highly elastic graphene oxide-epoxy composite aerogel (GEA) was fabricated by a facile method, in which the mixed suspension of the thermoset epoxy precursors and graphene oxide sheets was freeze-dried, followed by a routine curing process.
