In this paper, hybrid silica aerogels were prepared by methltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) and water-glass co-precursor through two-step sol-gel process followed by freeze drying (FD). The characteristics of aerogels were strongly affected by the molar ratio of MTMS/Water-glass. When the molar ratio is 5.1, hybrid aerogel was obtained with good performances, such as low density (0.083 g/cm(3)), high contact angle (155.1 degrees) and low thermal conductivity (0.0226 W/m.K). The density, contact angle and thermal conductivity of aerogels based on co-precursor are still showing excellent thermal stability with the same performances after 550 degrees C heat-treatment.
