Aerogels stand out for their exceptional thermal insulation capabilities, making them suitable for use in building insulation, aerospace, and the apparel industry. Their high surface area and porosity ...

‘Aerogel’ is a broad term used to talk about an extraordinary group of materials that have been used since the 1960s in space travel, but are now finding uses across a whole range of industries.

Aerogel, known as the world’s lightest solid, boasts a density so low that it’s composed of 99.8% air, making it lighter than ...

By using montmorillonite nanosheets and hydroxyapatite nanowires, they created a two-dimensional aerogel with excellent thermal insulation and flame retardant properties. This material ...
