Nanofoams
Nanostructured materials and foams contains significant population of pores with diameters less than 100 nm. Aerogel is one of the nanofoam. The efficiency of the catalytic production of sulfuric acid, ammonia, fuels, plastics, other chemicals and products, solid and liquid-monopropellant rocket fuels can be improved by nanofoams.
Nanofoams can improve the strength and heat-transfer properties of jet-turbine blades. Nanofoams decrease their weight, reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides from internal combustion engines and coal-fired power plants, enhance the sensitivity of biomedical detectors, and serve as electron sources for plasma TVs and as radar absorbing materials.
Carbon nanofoams and nanospheres of 25–30 nm were conveniently synthesized by using silica nanofoams as a template.
