The result of the polymerization and critical heating is the creation of a material that has a porous strong structure classified as aerogel. [14] Variations in synthesis can alter the surface area and pore size of the aerogel. The smaller the pore size the more susceptible the aerogel is to fracture. [15]
Aerographene or graphene aerogel is the least dense solid known to exist, at 160 g/m 3 (0.0100 lb/cu ft; 0.16 mg/cm 3; 4.3 oz/cu yd). [1] The material reportedly can be produced at the scale of cubic meters.
Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic and microscopic phenomena in chemical systems in terms of the principles, practices, and concepts of physics such as motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, analytical dynamics and chemical equilibria.
The precursor sol can be either deposited on a substrate to form a film (e.g., by dip-coating or spin coating), cast into a suitable container with the desired shape (e.g., to obtain monolithic ceramics, glasses, fibers, membranes, aerogels), or used to synthesize powders (e.g., microspheres, nanospheres).

Boron nitride aerogel is an aerogel made of highly porous BN. It typically consists of a mixture of deformed BN nanotubes and nanosheets . It can have a density as low as 0.6 mg/cm 3 and a specific surface area as high as 1050 m 2 /g, and therefore has potential applications as an absorbent , catalyst support and gas storage medium.
The Stöber process is a chemical process used to prepare silica (SiO 2) particles [1] of controllable and uniform size [2] for applications in materials science.It was pioneering [3] when it was reported by Werner Stöber and his team in 1968, [1] and remains today the most widely used wet chemistry synthetic approach to silica nanoparticles.

Its structure consists of a cluster-assembly of carbon atoms strung together in a loose three-dimensional web, similar to an aerogel. The material has a density of 2–10 mg/cm 3 (0.0012 lb/ft 3 ), which is among the lightest materials to date.
The liquid metal technology of synthesis of nanostructural aerogel AlOOH from molten Ga-Bi and Al-Al (Institute of RF IPPE named after A. I. Leipunsky, Obninsk city). Growing fiber nano oxide of aluminium on the surface of the aluminum melt (a Method of industrial synthesis, developed and patented by the ANF Technology). [3]
