89. Note that this process can be shortened a great deal, but the study was done using this protocol to be consistent with previous studies.

91. It should be noted that prior work (75) showed that epoxy-reinforced aerogels with similar amounts of APTES and no bis-silanes could be deformed to 25% strain without brittle failure. Slightly different reaction conditions, such as lower water to silane ratio and higher acid concentrations used in the current study is probably responsible for the difference in deformation behavior. In any case, BTMSH was still seen to decrease unrecovered strain in the epoxy-reinforced aerogels to a similar extent.
