Robust Silica–Polyimide Aerogel Blanket for Water-Proof and Flame-Retardant Self-Floating Artificial Island
A robust silica–polyimide (PI) aerogel blanket is designed and synthesized using the PI foam as the matrix and silica aerogel as the filler through an in situ method, where sol–gel transition of silica precursor occurs in pores of the PI foam, followed by the hydrophobization and ambient pressure dr...
