An aerogel material can range from 50% to 99.98% air by volume, but in practice most aerogels exhibit somewhere between 90 and 99.8% porosity. [12] Aerogels have a porous solid network that contains air pockets, with the air pockets taking up the majority of space within the material. [13]
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.
Supercritical carbon dioxide is used in the production of silica, carbon and metal based aerogels. For example, silicon dioxide gel is formed and then exposed to s CO 2. When the CO 2 goes supercritical, all surface tension is removed, allowing the liquid to leave the aerogel and produce nanometer sized pores. [34]
Boron nitride aerogel is an aerogel made of highly porous boron nitride (BN). It typically consists of a mixture of deformed boron nitride nanotubes and nanosheets . It can have a density as low as 0.6 mg/cm 3 and a specific surface area as high as 1050 m 2 /g, and therefore has potential applications as an absorbent , catalyst support and gas ...
Aerogel is a low-density solid-state material derived from gel in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with gas. The result is an extremely low density solid with several remarkable properties, most notably its effectiveness as a thermal insulator. It is also very strong structurally, able to hold over 2000 times its own weight.

A colloid is a mixture in which one substance consisting of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance. Some definitions specify that the particles must be dispersed in a liquid, [1] while others extend the definition to include substances like aerosols and gels.
The particle count is obtained by counting pulses. This pulse is proportional to the volume of the sensed particle. Advantages: very small sample aliquots can be examined. Disadvantages: sample must be dispersed in a liquid medium... some particles may (partially or fully) dissolve in the medium altering the size distribution. The results are ...
