Abstract

Modified silica aerogels have been obtained by co-gelation of tetramethoxysilane and acylated (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane of general formula (MeO)3Si–(CH2)3–NHC(O)–R) followed by supercritical drying in CO2. Alkyl substituent elongation has been shown to increase aerogel hydrophobicity up to formation of superhydrophobic materials (contact angle is 163.7°). Specific surface area of the aerogels can vary from 40 to 1375 m2/g.
