"Aerogels are three dimensional highly porous solid objects that provide density reduction compared to dense objects. Those materials can have applications in different classes of energy storage and the two types that are focused in this dissertation are mechanical energy and thermal energy storage. Shape memory materials can store and recover elastic deformation energy when triggered by an external stimulus such as temperature. To incorporate those properties, shape memory polymeric aerogels (SMPA) were synthesized from a rigid isocyanurate containing triisocyanate (N3300 A) and four short oligomeric derivatives of ethylene glycol: H(OCH2CH2)[sub n]OH (1 d"n d"4). The shape memory effect (SME) of those aerogels were evaluated via four figures of merit namely strain fixity, strain recovery, strain recovery rate and fill factor. The morphologies of skeletal frameworks of those aerogels varied from micrometer sized particles with thick necks to bicontinuous structures, that are typical of spinodal decomposition. A Marcus-type thermodynamic-kinetic relationship was identified between that shape recovery rate, R[sub t](N), and the elastic modulus, E. Other part of the dissertation deals with the synthesis of nanoporous metallic iron (Fe(0)) aerogels via carbothermal reduction of interpenetrating networks of polybenzoxazine and iron oxide nanoparticles. Excess carbon was removed oxidatively at 600 °C under flowing air and the oxides of Fe(0) thus produced in the oxidative step were reduced back to Fe(0) with H2 at different temperatures ranging from 300 - 1300 °C. Those final monoliths were loaded with perchlorates and ignited with a flame in open air. Based on the temperature of the reduction step, monoliths either fizzled out (d"00 °C), exploded violently (500-900 °C), or behaved as thermites (e"50 °C)"--Abstract, page v.

This indispensable handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the current state-of-the-art in inorganic, organic, and composite aerogels – from synthesis and characterization to cutting-edge applications and their potential market impact. Built upon Springer’s successful Aerogels Handbook published in 2011, this handbook features extensive revisions and timely updates, reflecting the changes in this fast-growing field. Aerogels are the lightest solids known to man. Up to 1000 times lighter than glass and with a density only four times that of air, they possess extraordinarily high thermal, electrical, and acoustic insulation properties, and boast numerous entries in Guinness World Records. Originally based on silica, R&D efforts have extended this class of materials to incorporate non-silicate inorganic oxides, natural and synthetic organic polymers, carbon, metal, and ceramic materials. Composite systems involving polymer-crosslinked aerogels and interpenetrating hybrid networks have been developed and exhibit remarkable mechanical strength and flexibility. Even more exotic aerogels based on clays, chalcogenides, phosphides, quantum dots, and biopolymers such as chitosan are opening new applications for the construction, transportation, energy, defense and healthcare industries. Applications in electronics, chemistry, mechanics, engineering, energy production and storage, sensors, medicine, nanotechnology, military and aerospace, oil and gas recovery, thermal insulation, and household uses are being developed. Readers of this fully updated and expanded edition will find an exhaustive source for all aerogel materials known today, their fabrication, upscaling aspects, physical and chemical properties, and the most recent advances towards applications and commercial use. This key reference is essential reading for a combined audience of graduate students, academic researchers, and industry professionals.
