Abstract
This paper reports a method for scale-up fabrication of hydrophobic and flexible aerogels derived from a combined precursor methyltrimethoxysilane and vinyltrimethoxysilane. The method developed enables the preparation of large pieces of monolithic aerogels at ambient pressure drying conditions. The thermal and acoustic insulation properties of the flexible aerogels were investigated and compared with the commercially available insulation materials.
