Merging flexibility with superinsulation: Machinable, nanofibrous pullulan-silica aerogel composites
Freeze-dried nanofibrous scaffolds are flexible, but typically have high thermal conductivities. Conversely, silica aerogel has an ultra-low thermal conductivity, but is brittle. Here, the impregnation of pullulan/PVA nanofiber scaffolds with hydrophobic silica aerogel decreased the thermal conducti...
