DOI: 10.1016/j.apsusc.2019.02.173
Abstract: Abstract Polymer aerogels fabricated using conventional methods typically have relatively narrow mono-modal pore size distribution (PSD), and relatively thick and tight pore walls. Herein, inspired by mussel glue, cross-linked three-dimensional (3D) polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous aerogels… read more here.
