Abstract

Clay aerogels are a relatively unexplored form of matter that are only now being investigated for use in the reinforcement of organic polymers. We have recently demonstrated an efficient process for producing these aerogels; we now report our preliminary work describing the preparation and properties of polymer/clay aerogel composites, including temperature-responsive materials.
