Fabrication of hydrophobic polymethylsilsesquioxane aerogels by a surfactant-free method using alkoxysilane with ionic group

Phase separation control is an important factor to prepare a porous monolith by an aqueous sol–gel reaction. Here, we report a surfactant-free synthesis method to obtain hydrophobic polymethylsilsesquioxane aerogels by copolymerizing a cationic-functionalized alkoxysilane N-trimethoxysilylpropyl-N,N...
