first aerogels were produced from silica gels. Kistler's later work involved aerogels based on alumina, chromia, and tin dioxide. Carbon aerogels were...

methods have been applied in the preparation of aerogels in non-silica systems. NASA has developed silica aerogels with a polymer coating to reinforce the structure...

of Aerogels, the cost price of this material still remains at a high level. Only two companies in the United States offer the commercial Aerogel product...

solids with a density of less than 10 mg/cm3, including silica aerogels, carbon nanotube aerogels, aerographite, metallic foams, polymeric foams, and metallic...

ultralight aerogel with a density less than air, the lightest recorded so far reaching a density approximately 1/6th that of air. Aerogels don't float...

synthetic product. Examples include fused quartz, fumed silica, opal, and aerogels. It is used in structural materials, microelectronics, and as components...

American scientist and chemical engineer, best known as the inventor of aerogels, one of the lightest known solid materials. Kistler, the son of a shopkeeper...

needed] Graphene aerogels are synthetic materials that exhibit high porosity and low density. Typical synthesis of graphene aerogels involve reducing...

shape (e.g., to obtain monolithic ceramics, glasses, fibers, membranes, aerogels), or used to synthesize powders (e.g., microspheres, nanospheres). The...

that allows continuous production of aerogels under ambient conditions, which was the start of the company’s Aerogel business. In 2009, Cabot completed...

solariums and other special applications may use aerogels, a high-performance, low-density material. Silica aerogel has the lowest thermal conductivity of any...

applications as an absorbent, catalyst support and gas storage medium. BN aerogels are highly hydrophobic and can absorb up to 160 times their weight in oil...

The first bio-aerogels were made in the early 2000s. Budtova's flagship work to date has been based around the development of aerogels which can be manufactured...
