Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
High-performance aerogels are highly desirable in the fields of thermal barriers, drug delivery, and mechanical cushions; however, most of the reported aerogels are limited by complex preparation processes and single functionality. To address such issues, in this study, we prepare a series of aramid nanofiber (ANF)/polyimide (PI) multifunctional composite organic aerogels via a facile polyimide-coating-on-aramid nanofiber (PCoA) strategy. This strategy utilizes PI to coat on the surface of ANFs and construct numerous mesopores within the ANF three-dimensional network skeleton to make the ANF/PI composite aerogels exhibit superior multifunctional properties, such as outstanding thermal and acoustic insulation, mechanical strength, thermal stability, flame retardancy, and hydrophobicity. In particular, the as-prepared composite aerogels with a PI content of 20 wt% exhibit a thermal conductivity of 23.20 mW/mK, which is lower than that of air, and their specific Young’s modulus reaches 32.57 MPa/(g/cm 3 ), the highest among all previously reported organic aerogels, at a density of only 14.86 mg/cm 3. The composite aerogels are destined to be extremely valuable as they can combine so many remarkable properties in a single package. Currently, the composite aerogels have been available in the form of ultrathin thermal insulation films at a thickness of only 100 μm, which can provide effective heat protection in microelectronic devices, and remain a terrific ability to operate under extreme conditions. Owing to these superior multifunctional properties, the ANF/PI composite aerogels show enormous potential for application in numerous fields, such as thermal management, environmental governance, catalysis, and energy storage.
