    Aerogel is a silica material that has attracted much attention today.


    Internal network of aerogel



    At present, the preparation of silica aerogel usually includes two main processes: sol-gel and drying



    Conventional preparation process of aerogel


    Hydrophobic aerogel



    The following methods are usually used to prepare hydrophobic silica aerogels



    01 Surface post-treatment method

    Mechanism of solvent replacement/surface modification of SiOz gel with TMCS solution


    2 In situ method

    In-situ method, also known as copolymerization method or co-precursor method, refers to adding a chemical substance that can produce hydrophobic groups to the sol reaction system to carry out a sol-gel process, so that the hydrophobic groups react with the hydroxyl groups on the gel surface to form The hydrophobic group results in a hydrophobic aerogel
