Adding a polymer to silica aerogels increases the strength of reinforced silica aerogels compared with pristine silica aerogels.
“Therefore, in comparison to pristine silica aerogels, this method increases the strength of reinforced silica aerogels [8].”
From Silica Aerogels as a Promising Vehicle for Effective Water Splitting for Hydrogen Production (2025) · cites this paper as [8]
The aging process is a critical step to improve strength inside the gel network and secondary particles with siloxane bonds.
“To improve the strength inside the gel network and secondary particles with the siloxane bonds, the ‘aging’ process is a critical step [8].”
From Silica Aerogels as a Promising Vehicle for Effective Water Splitting for Hydrogen Production (2025) · cites this paper as [8]
Aging wet gels increases the strength of the resulting silica aerogel by causing silica to dissolve and reprecipitate at the exterior of interparticle necks, resulting in mechanically significant inorganic connectivity and increasing the modulus of elasticity by about two aspects.
“The aging process of wet gels increases the strength of the resulting silica aerogel by causing silica to dissolve and repeated precipitation at the exterior of interparticle necks, resulting in mechanically significant inorganic connectivity. This procedure will result in an increase in the elasticity of modulus of about two aspects.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
