Abstract Aerogels owe their high thermal insulation and other unique properties to nanostructure configuration. However, controlling the aerogels' morphology is always a scientific challenge. In this study, double dianhydride backbone (double backbone) polyimide aerogels with tailored assembly are created for first time. This achieved by controlled polymerization reaction of oligomers distinct monomers. Combining two through successful strategy tailoring as well properties. The fabricated...
