| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aerogels are known as low-density, transparent porous materials with high thermal insulation ability. Improvement of mechanical properties and introduction of new functions to aerogels have been explored in this study. As silica aerogels with low density and transparency are already known, introduction of different organic moieties to siloxane polymer networks (so-called silicones) or development of purely organic polymer aerogels of epoxy resin have been investigated. In some cases in organo-substituted polysiloxane gels, aerogels with transparency and good mechanical properties have been developed. Aerogel-like xerogels have also been obtained through simple evaporative drying due to the improved mechanical properties.
