Aspen Aerogels, Inc. (NYSE:ASPN) shares are trading higher after the company won a conditional commitment for a proposed DOE loan worth up to $670.6 million. This loan, part of the Advanced ...
Silica aerogels may be used for sound insulation, such as on windows or for construction purposes. [112] [113] It has been suggested that Fogbank, a material of secret composition used in U.S. thermonuclear warheads, may be an aerogel. [114] Aerogels are used in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) and X-ray laser targets. [115]
A vacuum insulated panel (VIP) is a form of thermal insulation consisting of a gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated. It is used in building construction, refrigeration units, and insulated shipping containers to provide better insulation performance than conventional insulation materials.
Aerographene or graphene aerogel is the least dense solid known to exist, at 160 g/m 3 (0.0100 lb/cu ft; 0.16 mg/cm 3; 4.3 oz/cu yd). [1] The material reportedly can be produced at the scale of cubic meters.

Silica Aerogel insulation has the lowest thermal conductivity of any commercially produced insulation. Although no manufacturer currently manufactures Aerogel pipe sections, it is possible to wrap Aerogel blanket around pipework, allowing it to function as pipe insulation. The usage of Aerogel for pipe insulation is currently limited.
Installed faced fiberglass batt insulation with its R-value visible (R-21) [1]. The R-value is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier, such as a layer of insulation, a window or a complete wall or ceiling, resists the conductive [2] flow of heat, in the context of construction. [3]
Bakelite continues to be used for wire insulation, brake pads and related automotive components, and industrial electrical-related applications. Bakelite stock is still manufactured and produced in sheet, rod, and tube form for industrial applications in the electronics, power generation, and aerospace industries, and under a variety of ...
