Commercially Available Aerogels Overview of Aerogels Marketech offers the only complete line of standard silica, organic and carbon aerogels. Standard products are available as monolithic shapes, ingots, random pieces, and powders.
Carbon is also available as composite papers and thin self supporting films.
The following pages include descriptions, technical data, applications, links to other aerogel related aerogel pages, and on line order forms. The sol-gel solution is cast into the desired shape and after the formation of a highly crosslinked gel, the solvent is removed from the pores of the gel. RF aerogels are carbonized to form pure carbon aerogels or can be applied to carbon paper to form sheets of RF areogels that can be carbonized. The physical properties of aerogels are controlled by the density and microstructure of the gel. The surface area per gram, along with strength and resistivity, are generally inversely related to density.
