Silica Sol as a Nanoglue: Flexible Synthesis of Composite Aerogels

Morris, Catherine A., Anderson, Michele L., Stroud, Rhonda M., Merzbacher, Celia I., Rolison, Debra R.·1999·Science

Abstract

Low-density nanoscale mesoporous composites may be readily synthesized by adding a colloidal or dispersed solid to an about-to-gel silica sol. The silica sol can “glue” a range of chemically and physically diverse particles into the three-dimensional silica network formed upon gelation. If the composite gel is supercritically dried so as to maintain the high porosity of the wet gel, a composite aerogel is formed in which the nanoscopic surface and bulk properties of each component are retained in the solid composite. The volume fraction of the second solid can be varied above or below a percolation threshold to tune the transport properties of the composite aerogel and thereby design nanoscale materials for chemical, electronic, and optical applications.

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.
