Novel trends in polymer aerogel nanocomposites

Aerogel (AG) refers to porous ultra-light materials garnered from gelly substrates whose liquid portion of the gel has been replaced by gas forming a solid with very low heat dissipating behavior, as well as low density since it is composed of about 99.8% air. However, the advent of nanotechnology h...

Summary:Aerogel (AG) refers to porous ultra-light materials garnered from gelly substrates whose liquid portion of the gel has been replaced by gas forming a solid with very low heat dissipating behavior, as well as low density since it is composed of about 99.8% air. However, the advent of nanotechnology has facilitated the embedding of nanomaterials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and so on, within AG, thereby resulting in the formation of lightweight, high-performing, and multifunctional AG nanoarchitectures. Therefore, this paper elucidates properties and features facilitating AG and AG nanocomposites n varying applications.
