With their low thermal conductivity (λ), silica aerogels can reduce carbon emissions from
heating and cooling demands, but their widespread adoption is limited by the high …

Silica aerogel superinsulation products have a tremendous growth potential, particularly for
industrial and pipe insulation. However, the high production cost and the poor mechanical …

Silica aerogel is the ultimate thermal insulator thanks to its record-breaking low thermal
conductivity (λ), open porosity and hydrophobicity. Silica aerogel's thermal conductivity is …

Silica aerogel is the archetypal thermal superinsulator and commonly applied to improve the
thermal performance of on-and off-shore industrial infrastructure and buildings. Hitherto, the …

Silica aerogels have drawn a lot of interest both in science and technology because of their
low bulk density (up to 95% of their volume is air), hydrophobicity, low thermal conductivity …

Silica aerogels are excellent thermal insulators, but their brittle nature has prevented
widespread application. To overcome these mechanical limitations, silica–biopolymer …

Silica aerogels are considered as promising materials for future energy saving buildings,
however, their reliability remains questionable as commercially available aerogels can show …

Silica aerogels have only half the thermal conductivity of conventional insulation, but their
application potential is limited by the poor mechanical properties. The fragility arises from …

An organic solvent-saving method of preparing silica aerogel is reported. The silica aerogel
was made from water glass (WG) and used as the solvent. Na+ was removed through ion …

Silica aerogels are advanced materials with outstanding properties, including high specific
surface area and porosity, low thermal conductivity, density, dielectric constant, and …
