Description

Aerogel Composite, Inc., has patented nanotechnology for the preparation of aerogel composites for a wide variety of applications. Aerogels are solid-state substances similar to gels but where the liquid phase is replaced with gas. Aerogels rank among the world's lowest density solids and have a remarkably high surface area and are very porous and light. Their microstructure and physical properties can be manipulated at the nanometer scale by selection of raw material and modification of manufacturing conditions. Aerogel products can be engineered to exhibit desired thermal, acoustic, mechanical and/or chemical properties. Aerogel materials can be produced as monoliths, thin-films, powders, or micro-spheres to respond to given application requirements.
