| abstract |
The present invention relates to a method for preparing a porous material, which at least provides a mixture comprising a composition (A) and a solvent (B), the composition (A) containing components suitable for forming an organogel; in the solvent (B ) in the presence of reacting the components in composition (A) to form a gel; and drying the gel obtained in step b), wherein composition (A) comprises a catalyst system (CS), said catalyst system (CS ) comprising a catalyst component (C1) selected from the group consisting of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of saturated or unsaturated monocarboxylic acids, ammonium salts, ionic liquid salts and a carboxylic acid as catalyst component (C2). The invention also relates to the porous material obtainable in this way and to the use of the porous material as thermal insulation material and in vacuum insulation panels, in particular in interior or exterior insulation systems and in water tank or ice machine insulation systems the use of. |
