Utilising plastic waste, researchers from the National University of Singapore engineered thin-film aerogels that function as thermal insulators and radiative coolers. In this demonstration, the white ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Future thermal insulation is lighter, more durable, and capable of withstanding extreme conditions. Researchers at Oxford University have employed a scalable technique to develop ...

When specifying insulation for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and cryogenic applications, thermal conductivity values often dominate the conversation. But according to a new white paper commissioned by ...

Aerogels are defined by their unique structure, composed of a network of interconnected nanopores and solid material, which can be made from various substances including silica, carbon, and metal ...

Aerogels are versatile materials that have long struggled to find a market. After initial success marketing aerogels as insulation materials, companies are branching into new areas, particularly ...
