Abstract

Hybrid aerogels that contain a metal oxide precursor and a branched telechelic copolymer are described. Aerogels and aerogel articles, including hydrophobic aerogels and hydrophobic aerogel articles are also described.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hybrid aerogel comprising an inorganic portion comprising a metal oxide and an organic portion comprising a branched telechelic polymer. 
     
     
         2 . The hybrid aerogel according to  claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide is covalently bonded to the branched telechelic polymer. 
     
     
         3 . The hybrid aerogel according to  claim 1 , wherein the hybrid aerogel is hydrophobic such that a sample of the hybrid aerogel placed in a jar containing deionized water at 22° C. remains floating after 30 minutes.
