Abstract

The fractal structure of SiO2 - ZrO2 mixed aerogel prepared for catalytic purpose is investigated using morphological statistical methods, small angle X-ray scattering and N2 adsorption-desorption measurements. These three methods provide a description of the aerogel structure over several decades.
