Abstract

The functional and mechanical properties of carbon aerogels (CAG) are studied during pyrolysis to make resorcinol-formaldehyde aerogels (RFAG). The synthesis involves two different solvents: acetonitrile and dimethyl sulfoxide. The solvent to resorcinol ratio is kept at the levels of 8 and 14.5. The relationship is established between the values of the specific surface area S, bulk density ρ and CAG compression strength \(\sigma \) and the properties of the original RFAG. It is found that pyrolysis leads to an increase in S by ~2–4 times, ρ by ~1.5–3 times and \(\sigma \) by ~2.5–26 times, whereas the value of porosity P remains practically unchanged. The most noticeable change in properties is observed during pyrolysis of RFAG synthesized using dimethyl sulfoxide as a solvent with a solvent to resorcinol ratio of 8. The pyrolysis induces a significant shrinkage in samples which is less pronounced in RFAG samples obtained using a larger amount of solvent.
