2020年2月1日 · Nanoparticle-based aerogels are one of the few examples of 3-dimensional nanoparticle assemblies that can achieve macroscopic sizes while fully retaining the size-specific properties of the initial nanobuilding blocks.

Aerogel contains particles that are 2–5 nm in diameter. After the process of creating aerogel, it will contain a large amount of hydroxyl groups on the surface. The hydroxyl groups can cause a strong reaction when the aerogel is placed in water, causing it …

Lumira® Aerogel particles from Cabot are hydrophobic (water-repelling) millimeter-sized particles of silica aerogel produced through subcritical drying. Used in a variety of industrial applications including subsea pipe insulation and daylighting.

The aerogel fine particles can create a soft-focus efect to act as optical light difusers. They allow the light passing through to be difused so it is not trapped in the wrinkle. Light can reflect from the skin and pass out of the aerogel particle, making wrinkles less visible (see Figures 2 and 3). pg 2 Figure 2: Diffuse Transmission and ...

2020年11月3日 · Fast gel formation (i.e. fast reaction kinetics) allows the production of small aerogel particles with well-defined sizes, while slow gel formation is advantageous for the production of homogeneous and larger aerogel structures, e.g. monoliths and slabs.

2020年1月1日 · Aerogels are a class of highly porous materials from almost any kind of composition, namely metals, semiconductors, oxides, polymers, biopolymers, hybrids, and carbon, to name only a few. They consist of 90%–99% air and are assembled into three-dimensional nanostructured materials with pore sizes mainly in the micro- …

2020年4月6日 · Aerogels are 3-D nanostructures of non-fluid colloidal interconnected porous networks consisting of loosely packed bonded particles that are expanded throughout its volume by gas and exhibit ultra-low density and high specific surface area.

2024年1月15日 · Aerogel has a variety of usages in the aerospace industry, including thermal insulation, high-velocity particle capture, cosmic dust collection, cryogenic fluid containment, fire retardation, acoustics, thermal barrier, and so on, as depicted in Fig. 12 [155].

2010年8月11日 · Silica aerogels have drawn a lot of interest both in science and technology because of their low bulk density (up to 95% of their volume is air), hydrophobicity, low thermal conductivity, high surface area, and optical transparency. Aerogels are synthesized from molecular precursors by sol-gel processing.

2018年2月26日 · Ultralight nanofiber aerogels (NFAs) or nanofiber sponges are a truly three-dimensional derivative of the intrinsically flat electrospun nanofiber mats or membranes (NFMs). Here we investigated the potential of such materials for particle or aerosol filtration because particle filtration is a major application of NFMs.
