Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Microporous polyolefin and microporous polydicyclopentadiene (polyDCPD) based aerogels and methods for preparing and using the same are provided. The aerogels are produced by forming a polymer gel structure within a solvent from a olefin or dicyclopentadiene monomer via Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP) reactions, followed by supercritical drying to remove the solvent from the aerogel. Other aerogels are prepared by sequentially (1) mixing at least one dicyclopentadiene monomer, at least one solvent at least one catalyst and at least one inorganic and/or organic reinforcing material, (2) gelling the mixture, (3) aging, and (4) supercritical drying. Aerogels provided herein are inexpensive to prepare, possess desirable thermal, mechanical, acoustic, chemical, and physical properties and are hydrophobic. The aerogels provided herein are suitable for use in various applications, including but not limited to thermal and acoustic insulation, radiation shielding, and vibrational damping applications.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A porous polydicyclopentadiene based aerogel material comprising a polydicyclopentadiene polymer; wherein the porous polydicyclopentadiene based aerogel material has a density from 0.01 g/cm 3 to about 0.6 g/cm 3 . 2. The material of claim 1 , wherein the polydicyclopentadiene polymer comprises at least one polydicyclopentadiene monomeric unit represented by Formula I:…
