Discover a rigorous treatment of aerogels processing and techniques for characterisation with this easy-to-use reference. This volume presents the basics of aerogel synthesis and gelation to open porous nanostructures, and the processing of wet gels such as ambient and supercritical drying leading to aerogels. It describes their essential properties with their measurement techniques and theoretical models used to analyse relations to their nanostructure. Linking the fundamentals and with practical applications, this is a useful toolkit for advanced undergraduates, and graduate students doing research in material and polymer science, physical chemistry and chemical and environmental engineering
