Product Overview
Aerogel is porous, synthetic and ultra-light substance that is extracted from gel in which liquid component is replaced by gas. It is composed of the interconnected nanostructure. It is extremely lightweight and porous. Polymer aerogel are the strongest aerogel in comparison to other types of aerogel. Additionally, it contains low thermal conductivity and can be used as insulation material. The aerogel can be easily recycled which increases its cost effectiveness and make it eco-friendly. The aerogel contains air pockets and it takes maximum space within the material. The aerogel contains a hydroxyl group which can easily react with water. Polymer aerogel is one of the common type of aerogel. The various manufacturing process related to polymer aerogel are sol-gel process, drying methods and carbonization. The structure of polymer aerogel can be altered from nanoparticles to microfibrillar networks.
