Polyurea is an isocyanate derivative, and comprises the basis for a well-established class of
polymeric aerogels. Polyurea aerogels are prepared either via reaction of multifunctional …

Polyurea (PUA) develops H-bonding with water and is inherently hydrophilic. The water
contact angle on smooth dense PUA derived from an aliphatic triisocyanate and water was …

Imparting aerogels with structural anisotropy endows these porous materials with direction-
dependent properties and promising novel applicability in material science. However, facile …

Organic aerogels are a class of material most suited for their transformation into electrically
conducting porous carbon networks. Typically, polymeric aerogels are prepared via base-or …

We report the room temperature synthesis of spherical millimeter-size polyurea (PUA)
aerogel beads. Wet-gels of said beads were obtained by dripping a propylene carbonate …

A large array of anhydrous metal ions were tested as catalysts in the preparation of shape
memory poly (isocyanurate–urethane)(PIR–PUR) aerogels from the reaction of 1, 3, 5-tris (6 …

Polyimide (PI) aerogels cross-linked with a three amino compound tri (3-aminophenyl)
phosphine oxide (TAPO) were synthesised by 3, 3′, 4, 4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic …

Carbon aerogels represent a distinctive category of high surface area materials derived from
sol-gel chemistry. Functionalizing these aerogels has led to the development of composite …

Isocyanates are a class of inexpensive yet versatile organic compounds that serve as the
basis for a wide variety of familiar everyday products such as polyurethane foams …

Open-cell, three-dimensional assemblies of organic or inorganic nanoparticles are referred
to as aerogels. Owing to their fascinating physicochemical properties, aerogels have been …
