Aerogels Derived from Polymer Nanofibers and Their Applications
10.1002/marc.201700724 2018-03-08 Aerogels are gels in which the solvent is supplanted by air while the pores and networks are largely maintained. Owing to their low bulk density, high porosity, and large specific surface area (SSA), aerogels are promising for many applications. Various inorg... |
