Formation of Light-weight Low-density Materials via Gas Phase Aerosol Gelation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 January 2011
Abstract
We have demonstrated that gas phase explosive combustion can lead to nanoparticle aerosols with sufficiently large volume fraction to cause a volume spanning gel to form on the order of ten’s of seconds. The term “aerosol gel” was coined to name these materials. So far we have made aerosol gels of carbon and silica. These aerosol gels are similar to well-known, liquid-phase, sol-gel synthesized aerogels.
