Aerogel Insulation Market

Global Aerogel Insulation Market: Overview 

Existence of aerogels can be traced back to more than 80 years. Dr. Samuel Kistler from the College of the Pacific in California invented silica aerogel in the year 1931. Silica aerogel is a lightweight solid which is extracted from a gel and in which gas replaces the liquid component that is present inside the gel. After the removal of liquid, a “puffed-up sand” type substance with 99% porosity remains there. A very low density solid with many remarkable properties, particularly its efficacy as a thermal insulator emerges out of the process. Aerogels are used in several emerging applications such as carbon capture, filtration, and energy storage.
