Organic/inorganic hybrid systems can utilize advantages of the constituent materials. In this work, we prepared an aerogel system based on conducting polymer and silane precursors and investigated the property changes induced by electron beam. We were able to get the porous structures of the aerogel by freeze-drying from aqueous mixtures. We then irradiated electron beam to the hybrid aerogel with the dose ranging from 1 to 50 kGy and measured the force required to make compressive deformation. It revealed that increasing the electron beam irradiation dose showed improved resistance to deformation by external stress.
