Abstract

Resorcinol formaldehyde (RF) organic aerogels and carbon aerogels were synthesized by alcoholic sol-gel polymerization. The effects of solvents on gelation time, density of aerogels and drying shrinkage were studied. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed a nanoporous structure with low density for the aerogels. The pore size distribution and surface area of aerogels were studied using nitrogen adsoption isotherms.
