Fabrication of a Hyperporous Nanostructured -Polymer Composite based on Montmorillonite Nanoclay (MNC) /Phenolic Resin

A hyperporous nanostructured phenolic composite with superior mechanical and thermal properties was synthesized. This was done using the sol-gel polymerization of a Montmorillonite nanoclay (MNC)-incorporated novolac solution, under high temperature and pressure, and the following ambient drying. Incorporating MNC up to ۵% relative to polymer weight results in about a three-fold increase in compressive strength and a ۱۰۰°C delay in the thermal oxidation process compared to neat novolac aerogel.
