Both theoretical and experimental cutting-edge studies exploring the structural, chemical, rheological, and dynamical properties of xerogels and their derivatives are included in this collection.

This is done by reacting the internal pore surface of the wet gel with organic substances in order to change the contact angle of the fluid meniscus in the pores during drying.

The new starting materials, including thio-, amine- and nitro-containing molecules and functionalized macrocyclic molecules will produce organic xerogels and aerogels that have improved performance in the areas of detection and sensor ...

We have studied the different driving forces behind syneresis in MTES/TEOS gels by aging them in different H2O/EtOH pore fluids.

Resorcinol-Formaldehyde (RF) xerogels are a type of porous material used in many applications, such as gas storage.
