2025 Aerogel Conference to be Held at Fall MRS in Boston

We are pleased to announce the third Aerogels and Aerogel-Inspired Materials Symposium to be held this Nov 30 through Dec 5, 2025 at the Fall meeting of the Materials Research Society aka MRS in Boston, Massachusetts USA. The symposium is being held in conjunction with the Third International Conference of Aerogels and Aerogel-Inspired Materials and will be six action-packed days of the latest mind-bending physics-defying aerogel science.  All are welcome to attend and we invite you to submit an abstract for a talk or poster. The symposium will feature a mesmerizing aerogel sculpture garden from aerogel artist Ioannis Michaloudis along with a tutorial for newcomers to the field to be held on the Sunday before the conference begins. Featured topics include:

  • New compositions and pore structures for aerogels and aerogel-like materials
  • High-performance synthetic polymer aerogels
  • Electroosmosis, supercritical suction and spillage, high-temperature supercritical drying, freeze casting, continuous manufacturing, never-wet processes, and other diffusion-busting techniques
  • Aerogel composites and nanocomposites
  • Energy storage, capture, and conversion with aerogels
  • High-energy physics, fusion, and space exploration
  • Characterization of mechanical, microstructural, electromagnetic, and other properties of aerogels
  • Commercial applications of aerogels in buildings, transportation, batteries, apparel, the arts, and beyond
  • Additive manufacturing and other shape control techniques for nanoporous materials
  • Aerogel architectures of low-dimensional materials such as MXenes, engineered nanocarbons, semiconductors, and binary compounds
  • Conductive, photocatalytic, energetic, superelastic, and other special-functionality aerogels
  • Pharmaceutical, food science, and biomedical applications of aerogels
  • Simulation and modelling of gels and aerogels
  • Sustainability and environmental impact of aerogel production

Invited speakers will be announced next week.

Stay tuned!
