Abstract:
1. An aerogel-foam composite comprising: an open cell foam; and an aerogel matrix polymer disposed in the open cell foam, wherein the aerogel-foam composite has compression strength of about 15 megaPascals (MPa) or more, wherein the open cell foam has porosity of about 90% or more, wherein the open cell foam comprises a polymer selected from polyurethane, polyvinylchloride, polycarbonate, polyester, polymethyl(meth)acrylate, polyurea, polyether, polyisocyanurate, or a combination thereof, and wherein the aerogel matrix polymer comprises a first polymer that is a polymerization product of a first aryl compound comprising at least one hydroxy group, a first aldehyde compound, and a polyol compound.
