Abstract

Low density and foam-like aerogels based on abundant renewable konjac glucomannan and montmorillonite clay were prepared by a facile freeze-drying process. The amount of montmorillonite and alkali added into the aerogel and the freezing temperature greatly influenced the properties of the aerogel.
