Conventional heat insulating materials like expanded polystyrene, polyurethane foams or mineral wool are low cost and lightweight but high flammability. Other non-flammable insulating materials like fiberglass, rockwool and glass wool are heavy and bulky. Silica aerogel surpass other materials due to its high thermal stability, non-flammable and lightweight properties.

Aerogel : new lightweight composite materials
Posted on November 19, 2019 ·
Lightweight-thermal insulation composites were prepared using unsaturated polyester resin and silica aerogel. Preservation of pores in the aerogel was achieved by modification of the silica aerogel into closed pores, core-shell structure. … [Continue reading]
