ENGINEERING MATERIALS SILICA AEROGEL COMPOSIT...

This book explores the improvement in thermal insulation properties of protein-based silica
aerogel composites fabricated by a novel  inexpensive and feasible method. The resulting
material exhibits polymeric foam behavior including high compressibility  super-hydrophobic
qualities and excellent strain recovery in addition to low thermal conductivity. The
fabrication methodologies are explained in great detail and represented in flowcharts for easy
reference and understanding. This monograph gives readers a new perspective on composite
fabrication using methods other than the traditional ones and explores the endless ways of
altering the composition to modify the properties of the silica aerogel composites.
Applications for this novel composite are diverse and range from those in the pharmaceutical
and aerospace industries to the oil and gas industries.
