Abstract

Flexible inorganic–organic silica aerogels based on methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS, CH<sub>3</sub>Si(OCH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>) can overcome the drawbacks of conventional silica aerogels by introducing high mechanical strength, elastic recovery and hydrophobicity to monolithic materials.
