Hydrophobization of Monolithic Resorcinol-Formaldehyde Xerogels by Means of Silylation

In materials research, the control of wettability is important for many applications. Since they are typically based on phenolics, organic aerogels, and xerogels are intrinsically hydrophilic in nature, and examples of the chemical functionalization of such gels are scarce and often limited to powde...
