Aerogels — a Fascinating Class of High-Performance Porous Solids

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 6))

Abstract

Whoever as a scientist has a chance to hold a clear transparent porous tile of silica aerogel with practically no weight in his hands, quite certainly will not only be startled, but will keep asking questions about its origin, its structure and its properties. He may also somehow anticipate the future potential of this very exciting material.
