This aerogel has remarkable thermal insulative properties, having an extremely low thermal conductivity: from 0.003 W·m −1 ·K −1 [63] in atmospheric pressure down to 0.004 W·m −1 ·K −1 [58] in modest vacuum, which correspond to R-values of 14 to 105 (US customary) or 3.0 to 22.2 (metric) for 3.5 in (89 mm) thickness. For comparison ...

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.
Thermal conductivity, frequently represented by k, is a property that relates the rate of heat loss per unit area of a material to its rate of change of temperature. Essentially, it is a value that accounts for any property of the material that could change the way it conducts heat. [ 1 ]
The thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of its ability to conduct heat. It is commonly denoted by , , or and is measured in W·m −1 ·K −1. Heat transfer occurs at a lower rate in materials of low thermal conductivity than in materials of high thermal conductivity.
The thermal contact conductance coefficient, , is a property indicating the thermal conductivity, or ability to conduct heat, between two bodies in contact. The inverse of this property is termed thermal contact resistance .
The volumetric heat capacity of a material is the heat capacity of a sample of the substance divided by the volume of the sample. It is the amount of energy that must be added, in the form of heat, to one unit of volume of the material in order to cause an increase of one unit in its temperature.
