Robust and Hydrophobic Silica/Polyimide Aerogel with Pomegranate-like Structure for Thermal Insulation and Flame Retardancy up to 1300 °C

The inherent brittleness of silica aerogels has hindered their application in thermal protection systems. To overcome this limitation, we developed a silica/polyimide composite aerogel with a bio-inspired “pomegranate-like” structure through in situ gelation. The strategic integration of polyimide n...
