Polysiloxane Bonded Silica Aerogel with Enhanced Thermal Insulation and Strength

In order to improve the mechanical properties of SiO<sub>2</sub> aerogels, PHMS/VTES-SiO<sub>2</sub> composite aerogels (P/V-SiO<sub>2</sub>) were prepared. Using vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) as a coupling agent, the PHMS/VTES complex was prepared by conducting an...
