Resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) aerogel chemistry has been used with encapsulation techniques to fabricate low-density, transparent, foam shells. To accomplish this, the gelation time was reduced from several hours to several minutes by the addition of acid following base-catalyzed RF particle growth.
Organic aerogels were synthesized via the sol-gel polycondensation of resorcinol with formaldehyde in a slightly basic aqueous solution and followed by supercritical drying with carbon dioxide. As a result of characterization by nitrogen adsorption, the resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) aerogels were mes
