NASA develops the latest aerogel

The aerogel known as "frozen smoke" is able to directly withstand the direct impact of 1 kilogram of explosives, as well as high temperature jets exceeding 1300 degrees Celsius, creating 15 world Guinness records. Recently, NASA's Glenn Research Center has given new features such as super insulated clothes, special filters, refrigerator thin-walled and super-insulated buildings.

Dr. Mary Ann B. Meador said that traditional aerogels consist of silicon (silica, or beach sand) that can easily break and collapse. However, the newly-developed materials are highly flexible, sturdy, and able to withstand various limit tests such as folding, wrinkling, crushing, and pressing. They are 500 times more powerful than traditional aerogels. At the same time Dr. Mary said: "A thick skin can fully bear the weight of a car. And this new material can be made quite thin, good thermal insulation and impact resistance and other excellent performance for the current industrial research and development to provide more possibilities. ”

Dr. Mary said that this new material can withstand high temperatures above 1400 degrees Celsius, and has a strong weight advantage, and can withstand the pressure of several thousand times its own quality. In addition, its insulation performance is also very good, than the most Good glass fiber is also 39 times stronger. The team redesigned the extraction process and was able to form a small polymer of 0.14 g/cm3 with a porosity of more than 90%.
