Aerogel for Thermal Insulation

 

 
 

DESCRIPTION

Aerogel for Thermal Insulation Highly efficient, lightweight, and transparent Aerogels are the best thermal insulators available today. Two organic aerogels developed at LLNL have equivalent R values of 12 when air-filled (equivalent to the insulating capacity of 6 in. of fiberglass batting) and greater than 38 when evacuated (equivalent to 19 in. of fiberglass).
