Description

Organic aerogels were synthesized by sol-gel polycondensation of phlorogluctinol (P) with acetaldehyde (A) in a slightly alcohol solution, Na2CO3 as the base catalyst, followed by crosslink, solvent exchanging, and drying with supercritical carbon dioxide. Organic aerogels were characterized by SEM and nitrogen adsorption. The aerogel has a continuous nano-network and porous structure. Compared with traditional organic aerogels, it has increased specific surface area (1210 m2/g) and average pore diameter (11 nm), which is expected to meet the requirement of ICF targets. (authors)
