A comparison between the effects of hydrophobic and hydrophilic silica aerogel fillers on tensile and thermal properties of unsaturated polyester composites

In this study, a low-cost thermoset such as unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) was used for the preparation of lightweight and thermal insulation polymer composite using rice husk-derived silica aerogel (SA) as filler. For the first time, hydrophilic and hydrophobic silica aerogel (SA) of similar phy...
