About Aerogel: What is Aerogel?

© 2022 Aspen Aerogels, Inc.

https://www.aerogel.com/about-aerogel/

The most common type of aerogel, silica aerogel, is derived from a solgel reaction in which the liquid filled pores have been replaced with gas. This results in an extremely low-density solid that can be imparted with several remarkable properties such as hydrophobicity.  

•        Silica gel = most common type of aerogel

•        Formed by solgel reaction

•        Liquid in pores are substituted with gas

•        Very light

•        Hydrophobic (repels water)

Paraphrase

The most prevalent kind of aerogel is made of silica.  This lightweight solid is formed by the solgel reaction in which liquid normally found in the pores are substituted with gas.  Silica gel is hydrophobic; that is, it repels water (Aspen Aerogels, 2023)
