Abstract
Silica aerogels are very light, highly porous nanomaterial with large internal surface area possessing excellent thermal insulation that may get affected when the binders and additives used in aggregation. The most significant of all the properties is the extremely low thermal conductivity, reportedly to be in the range 0.017–0.024 W/m-K as highlighted by Schmidt and Schwertfeger (J Non-Cryst Solids 225:364–368, 1998).
