Spin-on xerogels, which are promising candidates for use as interlayer dielectric materials in
future microelectronic devices, change from a Newtonian liquid to a solid gel during …

Silica aerogel is a sol-gel prepared material characterized by high porosity and large inner
surface area. Aerogels can be prepared with a high transparency and low thermal …

An advanced process for the manufacturing of aerogel-lined capillaries is presented; these
are applicable as liquid-core waveguides for gaining the Raman signal of aqueous samples …

A monolithic thin film structure for uncooled pyroelectric infrared detector arrays was
developed to integrate thermally isolated Pb (Zr, Ti) O3-based thin films on silicon, with a low …

The objective of this research was to reinforce silica aerogels using functional organic-
inorganic hybrid nanoparticles, silane end-capped polyurethane oligomer and chain …

Nano-porous SiO2 insulation material was made from foamed aqueous slurry of nano-silica
powder by filter-pressing. The foamed aqueous slurry mainly consists of hydrophobic SiO2 …

Increased interest in nanoporous thin film materials for many and varied applications has led
