Abstract Hybrid aerogels based on polysaccharides - silica were prepared and characterized. Tetramethylorthosilicate (TMOS) was used as inorganic precursor and various polysaccharides (alginate, pectin, xanthan and guar) were used as organic precursors. TMOS was added to polysaccharide aqueous solutions, resulting in stable wet gels. There were no additional chemicals or cross-linkers in the process. Produced wet gels were dried under supercritical conditions with CO2 in order to preserve their structure. The nitrogen adsorption results were compared to pure polysaccharide aerogels, prepared in our previous research. It is shown, that the addition of silica to pectin, xanthan, alginate and guar significantly improved their structural properties, primarily seen in the drastic increase of the surface area. Guar-silica aerogels reached the highest surface area of 679 m2 g−1. The thermal properties, including thermal degradation and thermal conductivity were highly improved. Among the prepared hybrid aerogels, pectin-silica samples had the lowest thermal conductivity of 19 mWm−1 K−1.

Purpose The purpose of this research paper is to investigate the changes in free volume by adding acrylate modified nanodiamond particles. In this study, a cross-linked thiol-ene (T) network was obtained under ultraviole light. The changes in free volume were analyzed when acrylate-modified nanodiamond (M-ND) particles were added to the nanocomposites obtained. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), a well-established method, was used for this analysis. In addition, the effect of nanocomposites containing different ratios of acrylate M-ND particles (1, 2, 3 and 5 Wt. %) on the surface and the thermal properties were also examined. Design/methodology/approach The impact of different quantities of acrylate M-ND on the free volume and surface morphological properties of thiol-ene polymer networks were studied by using scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, attenuated total reflection, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, PALS and thermogravimetric analysis measurements. Findings The thermal properties of T/M-ND were found to depend on the weight percentages of the M-ND content. For increasing weight percentages of M-ND added to thio-lene polymer networks, the glass transition temperature (Tg) increased from 103°C to 154°C. The ortho-positronium (o-Ps) lifetime (free volume) and free volume fraction characterization of T/M-ND nanocomposites were investigated using PALS. Increasing temperature caused both the o-Ps lifetime (free volume) to change with increasing saturation and to linearly increase the intensity; however, an increasing weight percentage of M-ND caused no change at all for the o-Ps lifetime (free volume) and the free volume fraction. Originality/value According to published literature, and to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first time a study examining the free volume properties in a thiol-ene system has been carried out.
