Title:
HIGHLY POROUS CERAMIC OXIDE AEROGELS HAVING IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/139633
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
Ceramic oxide aerogels having improved flexibility are disclosed. Preferred embodiments exhibit high modulus and other strength properties despite their improved flexibility. The gels may be polymer cross-linked via organic polymer chains to further improve strength properties, without substantially detracting from the improved flexibility. Methods of making such aerogels are also disclosed.
