Binding and bonding characteristics of silica aerogels

Silica aerogel has been explored as possible filler for use in composite sandwich structure. This field of study has been inspired by the excellently low density of aerogel and hence a potential candidate to improve strength-to-weight ratio in composite sandwich structure. Previous research has show...
