The formation of nlonolithie and transparent transition metal containing aerogel m~~ been achieved through co:,perative interactions of high molecular weight fictionalized carbohydrates and silica p .ecursors, which strong]y influence the kinetics of gelation. After initial gelation, subsequen: modification of the ligating character of the system, coordination of the group VIII metal ions, and ...

Noise reduction remains an important priority in the modern society, particular, for urban areas and highly populated cities. Insulation of buildings transport systems such as cars, trains airplanes has accelerated need to develop advanced materials. Various porous materials, commercially available foams granular fibrous are commonly used sound mitigating applications. In this review we examine...

We experimentally and theoretically investigate the size effect of gelation using Resorcinol-Formaldehyde aerogels. We find a clear dependence of gelation time on the sample size under mild shear conditions. We developed a theoretical model based on Smoluchowski’s aggregation model adding, however, a growth term which accounts for the continuous growth of the colloidal particles while clusterin...

Abstract As one of the “miracle materials” in 21st century, aerogels with ultra‐low weight and remarkable mechanical performance have emerged shown incredible immunity to harsh working environments, attracting substantial research interests across a wide range areas. Recently, exploitation MXene nanosheets into represents new focus field materials science, on account their unique structures out...

The development of macroscopic aerogels from 1D systems, such as nanofibers, has resulted in a novel pathway to obtain porous and lightweight architectures.

This review presents the adsorptive removal process of hazardous materials onto carbon-based comprising activated carbon, graphene, carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, biochar and aerogels.
