A new route for preparation of sodium-silicate-based hydrophobic silica aerogels via ambient-pressure drying
An in-depth investigation into the synthesis of hydrophobic silica aerogels prepared by the surface derivatization of wet gels followed by subsequent drying at ambient pressure is reported. The following sol–gel parameters were examined for their effect on the physical properties of the derived aero...
