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

Aerogels based on carbon nanomaterials
TL;DR: In this article, the preparation, structure, properties and applications of three types of carbon nanomaterial-based aerogels are thoroughly examined, where the synthesis and processing conditions determine the structural features, such as pore volume and pore size distribution.

Silica Nanoarchitectures Incorporating Self-Organized Protein Superstructures with Gas-Phase Bioactivity
Jean Marie Wallace,Jane K. Rice,Jeremy J. Pietron,Rhonda M. Stroud,Jeffrey W. Long,Debra R. Rolison +5 more
TL;DR: It is posited that specific adsorption of the heme edge at nanoparticulate Au creates a high radius-of-curvature nanoscale hybrid that induces protein−protein self-directed assembly in the biocomposite silica aerogel.

Polypropylene/hydrophobic-silica-aerogel-composite separator induced enhanced safety and low polarization for lithium-ion batteries
TL;DR: In this paper, a polypropylene/hydrophobic silica aerogel-composite (SAC) separator is fabricated through combining hydrophobic and polyethylene separators, which significantly improves the wettability of PP separator to electrolyte.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–cellulose nanofibril (CNF)–multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) hybrid organic aerogels with superior mechanical properties
TL;DR: In this article, the material properties of these green hybrid aerogels were characterized extensively using various techniques, and it was found that adding a small amount of CNFs and MWCNTs increased the mechanical properties of the PVA aerogel drastically.
