Aerogels have been enormous attention by many researchers due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Especially, thermal and acoustic insulation performances of aerogels have made aerogels fascinating materials. However, aerogel’s mechanical properties are still too weak for daily use and costs of aerogel preparation are still so high. In this study, instead of vinylmethyldimethoxysilane (VMDMS)-derived polymer, styrene and VMDMS copolymer was synthesized by radical polymerization and more stiff and mechanically strong aerogel was obtained. This method which using copolymerized precursor would open various application fields of aerogels. |
