Abstract
Polyurethane aerogels (PUAs) are interesting materials because of their high porosity, low density, and low thermal conductivity, which result in their application as thermal insulations. PUAs are mainly synthesized using di- and polyisocyanates, diols or polyols, catalysts (tertiary amines and organometallic), and solvents (which are used as reaction medium, purifying of obtained semiproducts). Preparation procedure involves several steps, which permit to perform the transformation: sol → wet gel → aerogel. The final step of aerogels formation is mostly realized by drying using supercritical carbon dioxide. Obtained aerogels are characterized in the terms of their chemical structure, microstructure, physical and mechanical properties. The main aim of presented work was to review preparation, properties and applications of polyurethane-based aerogels.
