Thanks to the collaboration with the groups of Prof. Jörg Matysik and Prof. Dirk Enke, at the Universität Leipzig, the work done by my student, Juan Diego Barboza-Carmona, has been accepted and published online in the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology (Springer).

An integral overview of the porous structure of hydrophobic acid and base-catalyzed sodium silicate-based aerogels was done by using hyperpolarized ¹²⁹Xe NMR spectroscopy, together with other classical characterization techniques.
