What is aerogel powder? Gel powder is also called "frozen smoke" or "blue smoke." Because the particles in it are very small (nanoscale), the visible light scattering is small (Rayleigh scattering) when passing through it, just like the sun passing through the air. Therefore, it looks blue like the sky (if there is nothing else in it) and a little red if it looks at the light. The sky is blue, while the evening sky is red. Since more than 80% of the aerogel is air, it has a very good heat insulation effect. An inch-thick aerogel is equivalent to 20 to 30 pieces of ordinary glass. The rose will not be damaged even if the aerogel is placed between the rose and the flame. Aerogel also has a variety of uses in space exploration.
Application of aerogel powder Making Mars Exploration Space Suits: In 2002, NASA established a company to produce stronger and more resilient aerogels. NASA determined in 2013 that astronauts would wear spacesuits made of new aerogels during the 2018 Mars exploration. Mark Krajewski, a senior company scientist, said that as long as an 18mm thick aerogel layer was added to the spacesuit, it could help astronauts carry the high temperature of 1300 ℃ and the ultra-low temperature of minus 130 ℃. "This is the most effective thermostatic material I have ever seen," Mark said. Bulletproof is not afraid of being exploded: Bulletproof is the second important use of the new aerogel. The NASA company is testing homes and military vehicles built from aerogels. According to the laboratory test, if a layer of aerogel with a thickness of about 6 mm is added to the metal sheet, even if the explosive is directly exploded, it will not hurt the metal sheet.
Discovery of ultra light gas gel powder The research group of Gao Chao, a professor at the Department of Polymer Science at Zhejiang University, has prepared an ultra-light aerogel gel. It breaks the record of the lightest material in the world and has high elasticity and strong oil absorption capacity. The density of this solid material, called "all carbon aerogel," is 0.16 mg per cubic centimeter (the density of air thrown out), which is only 1/6 of the air density. According to experts, aerogel is the lightest material in the Guinness World Record. It is named because it has many pores and is full of air. In 1931, American scientists made the earliest aerogel with silicon dioxide, nicknamed "solidified smoke."
Price of aerogel powder Aerogel powder particle size and purity will affect the product's Price, and the purchase volume can also affect the cost of aerogel powder. A large amount of large amount will be lower. The Price of aerogel powder can be found on our company's official website.
