Aerogel is a synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas. The result is a solid with extremely low density and low thermal conductivity.
Density, surface area, and cell/pore size of both RF and carbon aerogels depend upon the synthetic conditions used in the sol-gel poly-merization.
Carbon Aerogel monoliths from Aerogel Technologies are electrically-conductive aerogels composed of amorphous carbon.
Most carbon aerogels have a surface area ranging from 500-800 m2 g-1 however this is highly dependent on density and whether or not other stuff has been introduced...
Carbon aerogel is an ultra-low density, highly porous material made up of a fibrous carbon network.
§ Presently W-doped carbon aerogels are at 50% and undoped carbon aerogels are at 25% of targeted volumetric density.
31 Worlds least dense solid? 32 Carbon aerogel is a good radiative insulator? 33 No longer has lowest density.
• Bulk properties of the carbon aerogel (i.e. density, surface area, pore size distribution, pore volume) are controlled through synthetic parameters.
• Carbon aerogels can be inexpensively prepared in large quantities (multiple gram lots) as either monoliths or powders • Bulk properties of the carbon aerogel (density, surface area, pore size, pore...
