Supply Nanoparticle Silica Aerogel SiO2 Aerogel

Silica aerogel has aroused great interest in science and technology due to its low bulk density (up to 95% of its volume is air), hydrophobicity, low thermal conductivity, high surface area and optical transparency, and it has many applications.
Silica aerogel is a light and highly porous material with a three-dimensional network of silica particles, which can be obtained by extracting the silica gel liquid phase under supercritical conditions. Due to their outstanding characteristics, such as extremely low thermal conductivity, low density, high porosity and high specific surface area, they are used in aviation/aerospace and terrestrial thermal insulation systems, environmental cleaning and protection, heat storage devices, transparent window systems, Thickener in paint, etc.
More durable aerogels, with higher strength and rigidity, can be obtained by appropriate selection of silane precursors, and they can be combined with different organic polymers or different optical fiber networks to construct an inorganic silica network. Recent studies have shown that adding flexible organic polymers to the hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica gel will be an effective mechanical reinforcement method for silica aerogels. If appropriate functional groups are introduced into the surface of silica aerogel and then copolymerized with appropriate organic monomers, a more versatile method of polymer reinforcement can be easily realized. Mechanically reinforced silica aerogel has a very open texture and can be used as an excellent thermal insulation material for different industrial and aerospace applications.
Silica aerogel is a typical thermal insulation material, usually used to improve the thermal performance of onshore and offshore industrial infrastructure and buildings.
Silica aerogel can be used in imaging equipment, optics and light guides. Materials used for filtration due to high surface area and porosity can be used to remove heavy metals. Thickener in certain paints and cosmetics. As an integral part of the energy absorber.
Aerogels also have many uses in space exploration. It is used in Russia's Mir space station and the US Mars Pathfinder probe. Aerogel is also used as a detector for the Cherenkov effect in particle physics experiments. In the Belle experimental detector at the B Meson plant of the High Energy Accelerator Research Institute, a particle discriminator named Airgel Cherenkov Counter (ACC) is its latest application. The aerogel used in the detector has lower refractive index characteristics between liquid and gas and has higher light transmittance and solid-state characteristics, which is better than traditional methods using cryogenic liquid or high-pressure air. At the same time, its lightweight is also one of its advantages.
