20080287561 | Aerogel Based Composites - Composites, such as syntactic foams, are described. The composite contains at least one polymer and at least one aerogel. The aerogel is coated with a coating substance to at least substantially prevent the intrusion of the polymer into the pores of the aerogel. Methods of making the composite are also described, as well as uses of the composite. | 11-20-2008 |
20080311398 | Aerogel Particles and Methods Of Making Same - Aerogel particles having a mean particle size less than 1 micron, products containing the same, processes of making the same, and uses thereof are described. A process of making the particle is also described wherein starting aerogel particles are homogenized or wet milled. The starting aerogel particles can be surface treated during the milling process to prevent agglomeration or aggregation. The aerogel particles can be used in a variety of products and applications. | 12-18-2008 |
20120037838 | Aerogel Compositions and Methods of Making and Using Them - Compositions include an aerogel component and have low thermal conductivity. Methods for preparing slurries or composites include, for example combining the aerogel component with a surfactant, binder and other ingredients, such as, for instance, fibers. The compositions can be slurries that can be used in coating applications or self supporting rigid composites. | 02-16-2012 |
20120187323 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN AEROGEL-CONTAINING COMPOSITE AND COMPOSITE PRODUCED BY THAT METHOD - The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an insulating composite containing mineral fibers, aerogel and binder. This method implies the step of suspending the fiber webs and aerosol in an air flow thereby disentangling the fiber webs and mixing fibers, aerosol and eventually binder homogeneously. The apparatus described combines spinning of the fibers, collecting them as webs, disentangling the fiber webs in suspended air, mixing the fibers with aerogel and cement as well as pressing and curing the mixture to a consolidated product of density 150 to 800 kg/m | 07-26-2012 |
20130119294 | Method for Manufacturing an Aerogel-Containing Composite and Composite Produced by that Method - Method for manufacturing an aerogel-containing composite, said method comprising the steps of: providing fibres, at least some of which are first fibres, such as mineral fibres, polymer fibres, cellulose fibres, or other types of fibres, in an amount of from 3 to 80 wt % of the total weight of starting materials, providing an aerogel particulate material in an amount of from 10 to 75 wt % of the total weight of starting materials, providing a binder in an amount of from 1 to 30 wt % of the total weight of starting materials, suspending the fibres in a primary air flow and suspending the aerogel particulate material in the primary air flow, thereby mixing the suspended aerogel particulate material with the suspended fibres, mixing the binder with the fibres and/or aerogel particulate material before, during or after mixing of the fibres with the aerogel particulate material, providing a filler, such as a fire retardant, in an amount of 1 to 55 wt of the total weight of starting materials, adding the filler at any suitable step of the method, such as before, during or after mixing of the fibres with the aerogel particulate material, collecting the mixture of fibres, aerogel particulate material, filler and binder and pressing and curing the mixture to provide a consolidated composite with a density of from 120 kg/m | 05-16-2013 |
20130171900 | Insulating Construction Element, Use of an Insulating Construction Element and Method for Manufacturing an Insulating Construction Element - The invention relates to an insulating construction element made of at least one board comprising fibres, aerogel particles and at least one binder. To achieve an insulating construction element which is especially easy to handle, easy to produce and which has high insulation properties the board comprises 20 to 40 percent by weight mineral wool fibres, 45 to 70 percent by weight aerogel particles and 8 to 12 percent by weight binder which components are pressed and cured to the board having a density of 130 kg/m | 07-04-2013 |
