The result of the polymerization and critical heating is the creation of a material that has a porous strong structure classified as aerogel. [13] 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. [14]
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.
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.
Aerogel is a low-density solid-state material derived from gel in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with gas. The result is an extremely low density solid with several remarkable properties, most notably its effectiveness as a thermal insulator. It is also very strong structurally, able to hold over 2000 times its own weight.
A xerogel is a solid that retains significant porosity (15-50%) with a very small pore size (1–10 nm). In an aerogel, the porosity is somewhat higher and the pores are more than an order of magnitude larger, resulting in an ultra-low-density material with a low thermal conductivity and an almost translucent, smoke-like appearance.
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]
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.
