which is generally derived from so-gel process and dried by supercritical drying
has a wide range of potential applications for its low density
high porosity
large specific surface area and low thermal conductivity. However
the fragility and the complicated drying methods always restrain the utility of aerogels. Since aerogel was first created
researchers have made tireless effort to simplify the drying methods and strengthen the mechanical properties of aerogels with novel starting materials
endowing aerogels new functions. In this paper
recent progresses of aerogel research have been reviewed which focus mainly on the preparation and characterization of organic aerogels and organic-inorganic hybrid aerogels.
