Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) aerogels with excellent environmentally friendly properties have been considered to replace undegradable polymer foams. However, due to highly flammable, hydrophilic, and worse compression resistance performance, PVA aerogels have always been excluded from practical. Herein, a fire safety and compression resistance PVA/expansible graphene oxide (EGO)/Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) (PGL) aerogel was prepared via the freeze-drying method and electrostatic adsorption of flame retardant.

- Aerogel materials are currently in short supply, particularly those that balance mechanical strength, thermal stability, and ease of preparation.
- Researchers developed polyimide (PI) aerogels with a unique double-gel system that provides superior mechanical properties, low thermal conductivity, and structural integrity.
- The resulting PI aerogel shows excellent performance characteristics, including effective thermal insulation, high thermal stability, and hydrophobicity, making it suitable for applications in construction and energy sectors.
