- Silica aerogel; synthesis, properties and characterization (2008, background): “Rao et al. (2007b) tested the thermal stability of the hydrophobic aerogels at various temperatures and found that aerogels retained the hydrophobicity up to a temperature of 325 ◦C in air and to 450 ◦C in N2 k phenomena. atmosphere and lost it above this temperature.”
- An overview on silica aerogels synthesis and different mechanical reinforcing strategies (2014, background): “On the contrary to the surface rich Si\OHgels, during the evaporation of the solvent in the hydrophobically surface treated gels, the alkyl groups repel one another originating the referred spring back of the aerogel [70,106,113].”
