Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Composites such as self-supporting rigid composites that include aerogel have low thermal conductivity and attractive mechanical properties. Methods for preparing such composites include, for example, combining an aerogel-containing material with a binder to form a slurry and allowing the slurry to harden. At least part of the hardening process in conducted under compression.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a self supporting rigid composite, the method comprising: (a) combining aerogel particles and an inorganic binder to form a slurry; (b) combining the slurry with a filamentary material, wherein the filamentary material has a filament length that is substantially preserved during a mixing process conducted to disperse the filamentary material in the slurry; (c) shaping the slurry or applying the slurry to a surface or into an openin…
