In recent years, silica gels have developed a lot of interest due to their extraordinary
properties and their existing and potential applications in science and technology. Silica gel …

Silica aerogels hold remarkable properties, particularly their translucence/transparency and
extremely low thermal conductivity and density, for buildings thermal insulation purpose …

Aerogels are highly porous materials with fascinating properties prepared using sol-gel
chemistry. Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, aerogels are recognized as …

The geopolymerization of solid substances rich in calcium and aluminum including mine
tailings by sodium silicate is mainly believed to be under the influence of alkali activation …

The silica aerogel was synthesized by simple and cost-effective sol-gel process under
ambient pressure drying. The wet gel was modified by using trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) …

Single and well-crystalline Co 3 O 4 phase imbedded in an amorphous SiO 2 matrix has
been obtained by novel aqueous solution method. The structural and morphological …

We report a method to synthesize low-density transparent mesoporous silica aerogel beads
by ambient pressure drying (APD). The beads were prepared by acid–base sol–gel …

In this paper, we report the experimental results on the synthesis of water glass based silica
aerogels, which were dried under ambient pressure. Water glass was hydrolyzed and …

The first step in the preparation of silica aerogels is a sol–gel process producing a gel. This
is followed by drying of the gel by either supercritical drying (SCD) or ambient pressure …

Silica aerogels were prepared using bagasse ash as a silica source through a route
involving the surface modification of wet gels and ambient pressure drying (APD). The silica …
