METHOD FOR MAKING ORGANIC FOAM COMPOSITES CONTAINING AEROGEL PARTICLES

摘要

Aerogel particles are impregnated with a volatile liquid. Organic polymer foams are made in the presence of the impregnated aerogel particles. The volatile liquid volatilizes during the foaming process, resulting in a composite foam in which the dispersed aerogel particle are filled with gas. The composite foams have exceptionally low thermal conductivities.
