This indispensable handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the
current state-of-the-art in inorganic, organic, and composite
aerogels – from synthesis and characterization to cutting-edge
applications and their potential market impact. Built upon
Springer’s successful Aerogels Handbook published in 2011, this
handbook features extensive revisions and timely updates,
reflecting the changes in this fast-growing field. Aerogels
are the lightest solids known to man. Up to 1000 times lighter than
glass and with a density only four times that of air, they possess
extraordinarily high thermal, electrical, and acoustic insulation
properties, and boast numerous entries in Guinness World Records.
Originally based on silica, R&D efforts have extended this
class of materials to incorporate non-silicate inorganic oxides,
natural and synthetic organic polymers, carbon, metal, and ceramic
materials. Composite systems involving polymer-crosslinked aerogels
and interpenetrating hybrid networks have been developed and
exhibit remarkable mechanical strength and flexibility. Even more
exotic aerogels based on clays, chalcogenides, phosphides, quantum
dots, and biopolymers such as chitosan are opening new applications
for the construction, transportation, energy, defense and
healthcare industries. Applications in electronics, chemistry,
mechanics, engineering, energy production and storage, sensors,
medicine, nanotechnology, military and aerospace, oil and gas
recovery, thermal insulation, and household uses are being
developed. Readers of this fully updated and expanded edition will
find an exhaustive source for all aerogel materials known today,
their fabrication, upscaling aspects, physical and chemical
properties, and the most recent advances towards applications and
commercial use. This key reference is essential reading for a
combined audience of graduate students, academic researchers, and
industry professionals.
