Overview of Silica Aerogel

Silica aerogel is a lightweight material. It has high porosity. This makes it an excellent insulator. It finds use in many industries due to its unique properties.

Features of Silica Aerogel

Silica aerogel has low density. It offers excellent thermal insulation. This material is also highly transparent. It resists water and fire well. Its mechanical strength is impressive for its weight.

Applications of Silica Aerogel

In construction, silica aerogel improves energy efficiency. For aerospace, it reduces weight while maintaining insulation. In electronics, it protects sensitive components from heat. Textiles add warmth without bulk.

Specifications Table of Silica Aerogel

Property	Typical Value
Appearance	Blue or clear solid
Density	0.03 – 0.3 g/cm³
Thermal Conductivity	0.013 – 0.025 W/m·K
