“…[ 95 ] Hierarchically organized aerogels with a macropore size of 0.1–80 µm and uniform mesopores with a size of 2–60 nm have been synthesized using the templating approach. [ 96 ] Target gels can be synthesized within a template gel using low‐molecular‐weight gelators, and these template gels can be extracted during the solvent exchange process, forming an organogel with a 70 nm pore‐size fiber‐like structure. [ 97 ] During oil‐in‐water emulsion process, the pore size of aerogels can be tuned based on the water droplet size, which is used in the synthesis of metal oxide and biopolymer aerogels.…”

In recent decades, aerogels have attracted tremendous attention in academia and industries as a lightweight and porous multifunctional nanomaterial. Despite their wide application range, their limited mechanical durability hinders their processing and operation, particularly in application requiring complex physical structures. “Mechanically strengthened aerogels” have emerged as the potential solution to address this drawback. Since the first report on aerogels in 1931, various modified synthesis processes have been introduced to enhance the mechanical strength of aerogels in the last decade, further advancing their multifunctional scope. This review summarizes the state‐of‐the‐art developments of mechanically strengthened aerogels through multicompositional and multidimensional approaches in the past 10 years. Additionally, new trends and future technologies for the commercialization of aerogels as much as plastic is discussed in the final section.This article is protected by copyright.
