Hmm. I wonder what would happen if you created a sponge of this stuff and then heated up the air inside the interior pores? As light as it is, could the addition of hot air make it start to float?

Note quite a vacuum balloon, but maybe the next best thing and rather more robust than a 'conventional' hot air balloon?

Just a thought,

Todd
