METHOD FOR AEROGEL PRODUCTION AND AEROGEL COMPOSITE MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for aerogel production and to a composite material produced by said method and comprising an aerogel and mineral fibers. An aerogel material produced on the basis of silicate with a coefficient of thermal conductivity of < 18 mW/mK is obtainable by rendering it hydrophobic with HMDSO in the presence of nitric acid.
