Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

The chapter delves into the history and evolution of body armor, emphasizing the need for lightweight and highly mobile protective systems. It introduces aerogels, particularly silica aerogels, and their exceptional properties such as low density and high surface area. The focus then shifts to polymer-crosslinked aerogels, or X-aerogels, which overcome the fragility of traditional aerogels and exhibit remarkable mechanical strength. The chapter explores the potential of these advanced materials in defense applications, showcasing their superior energy absorption capabilities and highlighting their promise for next-generation body armor. It also discusses the compressive behavior of crosslinked silica aerogels and their potential in various industries, including aerospace and defense.
