What is Aerogel Powder?Aerogel, also known as a wet gel or hydrogel, is a porous material that can be made by replacing the liquid within the gel with air. Aerogel KNFW silica is a low-density material with low thermal conductivity and high specific surface. High purity and surface activity have been used to produce building insulations, industrial insulations, polymer material, aerospace and everyday chemical industries.

Characteristics and uses of aerogel powder
Aerogel has a light, translucent blue color and is very light. People also call it solid smoke. Stephen Jones, material scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is the man who developed this new aerogel. Its main component, silicon dioxide, is glass. But because it's 99.8% air and not glass, its density is just one-thousandth that of a glass. Aerogel is a very strong material that appears "weak". It will not melt before 1200°C and can withstand thousands of pressures. Aerogel's thermal conductivity is also low and its refractive indices are very low. In addition, it has a 39-fold higher insulation capacity than glass fiber. These characteristics have made aerogel an indispensable material for space exploration. It is used as thermal insulation for the Russian "Peace", space station, and the American Mars Pathfinder probe.

Function of Aerogel Powder
In the research on fractal structure. The scale size affects the apparent density of silicon nanogel as a controllable, nanoporous structure. In a particular scale range, the density of silicon aerogel is scale invariant. This means that the density decreases when the scale increases, and the structure is self-similar. In the study on the dynamics of aerogel structure, it is also shown that the three excitation areas have significantly different dispersion relation in different scales. They correspond to the excitation modes of phonons, fractals, and particles. Aerogels can be prepared in a way that changes the correlation length up to two orders of size. The best materials to study fractal structures, and their dynamic behavior, are silicon aerogels.

Prices of aerogel powder
Aergel powder's price is affected by its particle size, purity, and purchase volume. The price of a large quantity will be lower. On our official website, you can find the price of Aerogel Powder.
