Gelatin (GA) was used as a reinforced material in the study to enhance the thermal-mechanical properties of the polyimide (PI) aerogel. The effects of the content and the freezing rate on the thermal-mechanical properties of the composite aerogels were investigated. The internal structure and chemical composition of the composite aerogels were analyzed by using characterization methods. Finally, the mechanism of enhancement of thermal-mechanical of the composite aerogels is further discussed. The results show that GA can effectively enhance the thermal-mechanical properties of PI aerogel, and the appropriate freezing rate can form a dense pore structure inside the composite aerogel to reduce the thermal conductivity and improve the mechanical property. Moreover, the thermal runaway protection result demonstrated that the composite aerogel significantly delayed the time of thermal runaway of the lithium battery.

As modern industry continues to advance, noise pollution is becoming increasingly severe, posing a significant threat to the global economy and human health. Given their porous structure and lightweight properties, aerogels exhibit substantial potential in the field of acoustics. Concurrently, the use of environmentally-friendly, biodegradable materials such as chitosan (CS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) not only helps address environmental challenges but also contributes to reducing pollution.

Downsizing metal nanoparticles into nanoclusters and single atoms represents a transformative approach to maximizing atom utilization efficiency for energy applications. Herein, a bovine serum albumin-templated synthetic strategy is developed to fabricate iron and nickel nanoclusters, which are subsequently hydrothermally composited with graphene oxide. Through KOH-catalyzed pyrolysis, the downsized metal nanoclusters and single atoms are embedded in a hierarchically porous protein/graphene-derived carbonaceous aerogel framework.

In order to extend the shelf life of food especially under sunlight, a synergistic dual-component reinforcement strategy of graphene (graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide aerogel microspheres) and TiCT MXene was applied as fillers in gelatin (GL) matrix. After simultaneous mechanical stirring and ultrasonication, followed by an ultrasonic cell grinding treatment process, the uniform dispersion and full exfoliation of both kinds of fillers in the GL matrix were ensured through the green synthesis method, which effectively enhanced the antibacterial, mechanical, ultraviolet-visible light barrier, and antioxidant properties of GL. Among these fillers, graphene (GE)/TiCT showed the best enhancing effect because GE had more complete graphene rings with greater extent of sp2-hybridized carbons as well as more edges.

Solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs) have attracted significant attention due to their high enthalpy, which enables superior energy storage density. However, it is difficult to maintain their original shapes in a molten state. Therefore, confining PCMs within porous materials is an important method, either through mixing molten polymers and PCMs or confining PCMs in pre-prepared porous materials (e.
