Research Gap

Installation of insulation materials in buildings can reduce the usage of air conditioners by retarding heat flow into the building. Aerogel is one of the best insulation materials with distinctive properties that can replace existing building insulation materials such as fibre glass and polyurethane. However, brittleness of Aerogel makes it difficult to handle and disqualifies its viability as a building insulation material. Reinforcement of Aerogel with binding materials can improve its mechanical and thermal properties to overcome its brittleness. However, only a few studies have been carried out on this area. Furthermore, from the few existing studies, vital information such as thermal conductivity and specific application of the reinforced Aerogel studied were not considered. As an initiative to fill in this research gap, a review on reinforcement of Aerogel is presented.
