The effects of a controlled densification on polyurethane aerogels are herein studied by analyzing their textural, mechanical, sound, optical, and thermal insulating properties. The produced aerogels are uniaxially compressed to different strains (30%–80%) analyzing the consequent changes in the structures and, therefore, final properties. As expected, their mechanical stiffness can be significantly increased by compression (until 55-fold higher elastic modulus for 80%-strain), while the light transmittance does not noticeably worsen until it is compressed more than 60%. Additionally, the modifications produced in the heat transfer contributions are analyzed, obtaining the optimum balance between density increase and pore size reduction. The minimum thermal conductivity (14.5%-reduction) is obtained by compressing the aerogel to 50%-strain, where the increment in the solid conduction is surpassed by the reduction of the radiative and gas contributions. This strategy avoids tedious chemical modifications in the synthesis procedure to control the final structure of the aerogels, leading to the possibility of carefully adapting their structure and properties through a simple method such as densification. Thus, it allows to obtain aerogels for current and on-demand applications, which is one of the main challenges in the field.Este trabajo forma parte del proyecto de investigación: ECO-AERoGELS COST Innovation Grant supported by the European Commission; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MCIU) ; Ministry of Science and Innovation MICIN and the European Union NextGenerationEU / PRTR.
