The present review focuses on synergistic effectsof silica aerogels/xerogels on properties of
polymer composites. In first part of the review, synthesis of silica aerogels/xerogels from …

Silica aerogels have drawn considerable attention due to their low density (almost 95% of
the total volume is composed of air), hydrophobicity, optical transparency, low conductivity of …

This study attempted to investigate the effects of adding hydroxyapatite and silica aerogel
nanoparticles on the density, tensile, Izod impact, and morphological properties of epoxy …

Using transparent thermal insulators, which are low heat conductors and good light
transmitters, is a brilliant idea to preserve heat energy. In this regard, silica aerogels (SAs) …

Aerogel particle filled epoxy was fabricated in this work by investigating the effect of resin
viscosity on pore infiltration and density of resulting composites. Aerogel porous structure …

The mechanical, interfacial and thermal properties of a flax/epoxy composite incorporated
with a silica aerogel (SA) at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 wt.% were examined in this work. A set of …

Konjac glucomannan (KGM) aerogel was prepared by a facile freeze-drying process, which
was used as green sustainable biopolymer matrix to synthesis three-dimensional (3D) …

The synthesis of silica xerogel from corn stalk ash in ambient pressure drying was carried
out by sol-gel method. With the usage of silica xerogel (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 wt%) in epoxy resin …

The article explores innovative methods for creating high-insulation walls, essential for the
future of energy-efficient and sustainable construction. It focuses on advanced 3D-printing …

Low temperature tolerance of aqueous sodium ion batteries (ASIBs) represents a high
challenge, eventhough ASIBs are attractive for large scale energy-storage application due to …
