DOI: 10.1021/acsami.8b11375
Abstract: The requirement of energy efficiency demands materials with superior thermal insulation properties. Inorganic aerogels are excellent thermal insulators, but are difficult to produce on a large-scale, are mechanically brittle, and their structural properties depend strongly… read more here.
