Project Background:
Development of polymer aerogels is an effective way to overcome the shortcoming of silica aerogels in mechanical property. However, polymer aerogels have poor thermal stability. Hence, phenolic aldehyde-SiO2 (RF/SiO2) hybrid aerogel is put forward. The new polymer-based aerogel composite has  polymer and SiO2 networks interpenetrated together, which improves the thermal performance and mechanical property significantly.

Aims & Goals:
1. To achieve effective construction of the network of the polymer-based aerogel 
2. To break technical bottleneck of low-cost ambient pressure drying and fast supercritical drying
3. To achieve industrial production and practical application of the polymer-based aerogel composites
4. To achieve high-valued application of phenolic aldehyde and polymer fibers by polymer-based aerogel products
