Progress in Sol–Gel-Derived Phenolic Aerogels: Control of Network Topology, Drying Technologies, and Functional Modification

Phenolic aerogels, owing to their low density, high char yield, large specific surface area, and well-defined three-dimensional topological networks, hold considerable promise for applications in extreme thermal protection and multifunctional material systems. The sol–gel process, a cornerstone methodology for construc...
