What Are the Application Areas of Aerogel Insulation Products?

As a new star in nanomaterials industry - (Aerogel), what exactly is it?

First of all, aerogel insulation products is different from "glue" in our traditional thinking. It is a solid material with a density of 3 KG / m³ and is also called "frozen smoke" or "blue smoke" due to its extremely low density. , Won the Guinness Book of Records "the world's lightest solid" title. The earliest in 1931, by S. Kistler using supercritical drying method successfully prepared SiO2 Aerogel. As the Aerogel generally more than 80% of the air, so there is a very good thermal insulation, an inch thick Aerogel equivalent to 20 to 30 pieces of ordinary glass insulation. Even if the Aerogel is placed between the rose and the flame, the rose will be undamaged.

Aerogel insulation products are significantly different from porous materials with pore structures on the order of micrometers and millimeters. Their fine nanostructures make the material very low in thermal conductivity and have a very large specific surface area. The scattering of light and sound is much smaller than the traditional porous materials. These unique properties not only make the material of interest in basic research, but also have a wide range of applications in many fields.

Aerogel products which have? What is the use?

Aerogel insulation products are available for application on Aerogel products in two parts. The first part is aerogel insulation products that have commercial circulation properties. The second part is a cutting-edge research of great scientific value.

Aerogel products at this stage are mainly included:

1, Aerogel particles: its physical properties make the Aerogel material itself has outstanding advantages in thermal insulation and sound insulation, water purification, gas adsorption, etc., can replace activated carbon as a consumable.

2, Aerogel insulation products: This is just a general term, can be understood as all need efficient constant temperature place can use things, as this material can be solid, it can be liquid. In simple terms, this composite insulation material is when the Aerogel with what kind of substrate for the second compound, which makes the material has a high thermal insulation performance. Industrial applications in the field of construction, Aerogel and glass fiber mat composite processed into an Aerogel insulation blanket, making it double the thermal conductivity of reduced; daily necessities areas, complex with the textile, making the thermal insulation properties of a Stairs. At present, the application of new Aerogel mainly in the field of energy saving and environmental protection.
