- World’s first PET aerogel is made from recycled bottlesResearchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) developed what they say is the world’s first PET aerogel, made from recycled plastic bottles. Aerogels…
- Translucent aerogelCabot aerogel is a family of highly porous, hydrophobic, high surface area amorphous silica particles or granules. Aerogel is a hydrophobic amorphous silica product that is chemically similar to common fumed silica products. The highly porous structure of the aerogel allows light to diffuse throughout a daylighting system. In addition, the material is a great thermal insulator.
- Transparent aerogel for more efficient solar collectorsResearchers at MIT developed a new type of aerogel so transparent you can barely see it, for the use of in solar collector. When…
- Biobased Nanocellulose Aerogels: Fire-Safe Insulation for Sustainable DesignInsulation materials are essential for energy-efficient buildings, yet conventional petroleum-derived foams are associated with significant drawbacks, including flammability, limited recyclability, and environmental impact. A…
- AerogelAerogel is a synthetic, porous, ultra-light material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas. The result is a solid with extremely low density and low thermal conductivity. Its primary use is in daylighting applications, where visible light is required to pass through a daylighting unit, which still maintains excellent thermal insulation.
- Graphene And Aerogel Enable Climate-Adaptive Sleeping SystemHong Kong-based performance materials company Graphene-X has launched the Tardigrade Sleeping System, a modular outdoor sleeping platform that combines graphene-enhanced insulation with aerogel technology.…
- New aerogel insulation material more soundproof and heat-resistantThere are many materials on the market to insulate your house or make it more soundproof, but researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore…
- Making Mars habitable through silica aerogelA team of researchers from Harvard University, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, and the University of Edinburgh suggest that regions of the Martian surface could…
