Simulation and Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Silica Aerogels: From Rationalization to Prediction
Silica aerogels are highly porous 3D nanostructures and have exhibited excellent physio-chemical properties. Although silica aerogels have broad potential in many fields, the poor mechanical properties greatly limit further applications. In this study, we have applied the finite volume method (FVM)...
