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

Journal ArticleDOI
3D fibrous aerogels from 1D polymer nanofibers for energy and environmental applications
TL;DR: Aerogels are highly porous structures produced by replacing the liquid solvent of a gel with air without causing the collapse of the solid network as discussed by the authors , and they are used in many applications.
