Engineering thermal and mechanical properties of flexible fiber-reinforced aerogel composites

Author(s): Anmin Cao, Huijun Wu, Moran Wang, Shuai Yin, Yundan Liao, Yunfei Ding

The authors present a method of fiber-reinforced aerogel composites by impregnation of four layers of aligned glass fibers into silica sol layer-by-layer. The effect of different fiber alignments, as well ...

Investigation of transmittance and thermal conductivity properties of silica gels for application as transparent heat insulation materials

Author(s): Christos G. Aneziris, Friederike Klenert, Jens Fruhstorfer

In this article the effectiveness of silica aerogels as a transparent heat insulation material (TIM) is studied. They are a good candidate for this application as the amount of energy ...

Effective thermal conductivity of divided silica xerogel beds

Author(s): A. Bisson, A. Rigacci, D. Lecomte, P. Achard

The thermal conductivities of aerogels and xerogels were explored in order to determine how the solid content of each material affected the conductivity. Experimental considerations include testing at room temperature, ...
