Insights on the Influence of the Drying Method and Surface Wettability on the Final Properties of Silica Aerogels

In the synthesis of aerogels, the influence of the drying process on the nanostructure is an issue of utmost relevance for tailoring the final properties of these materials. Among the complex parameters affecting this process, the hydrophobicity of the aerogel structure plays a key role. Thus, herei...
