Abstract

The Young's modulus of silica aerogels is measured using the three points flexural technique. Various parameters have been investigated such as the catalyting conditions used to elaborate the initial alcogel and the heat treatment performed to density the material. In a given sample porosity the elastic behaviour of aerogels depends on the conditions of gel preparation. This different elastic behaviour is related to the different spatial arrangement of the particles pointed out by fractal features.
