New Star in the Material World--Aerogel Particles
There are many kinds of aerogels, which can be lumpy in shape. In addition, there are aerogel particles and aerogel gel powders. So, let's take a look at the air gel! At present, the product forms of gel mainly include insulation gel felt, board, cloth, paper, particles, powder and profiled parts. Aerogel felt, board, cloth, paper and profiled parts are all products made from the combination of aerogel and fiber of corresponding product form. The basic technical process is similar, but the product application is quite different.
At present, the main application of gel particles is to use the transparency of gel to fill in PC boards or insulating glass panels to make lighting and heat insulation panels. Although it has certain market applications, it is small in scale. There are also those who use aerogel particles to develop thermal insulation mortar, and the cost performance still needs to be improved.
Today, the number of enterprises entering the aerogel industry is increasing, the application of products is expanding, the market scale is expanding, the speed of technology research and development is accelerating, the product price is significantly reduced, and the industry leading companies are entering a stage of rapid growth.
