A facile preparation of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) hydrogels and their derivative PVOH/montmorillonite clay aerogels is reported, using water as solvent and divinylsulfone as crosslinking agent, making use of an environmentally friendly freeze drying process. The materials exhibit significantly increased mechanical properties after crosslinking. The compressive modulus of an aerogel prepared from an aqueous suspension containing 2 wt% PVOH/8 wt% clay increased 29-fold upon crosslinking, for example. Crosslinking of the polymer/clay aerogels decreased the onset decomposition temperature as measured by thermogravimetric analysis, and generated a more continuous structure at higher clay contents. Such polymer/clay aerogels are promising materials for low flammability applications. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
