Fourth International Seminar on AEROGELS-2018

Properties-Manufacture-Applications

WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF AEROGELS

Aerogels are a fascinating class of nanoporous materials that exhibit a wide array of extreme and unique materials properties. Aerogels have traditionally been obtained through a combination of sol-gel technology and (mainly) supercritical drying. However, in recent years numerous new compositions and processes have made possible a wide range of amazing new materials and applications. As a result aerogels are now the focus of significant development efforts worldwide, with uses in many fields including insulation for buildings and oil pipelines, lightweight structural materials, aerospace, adsorbents and catalysts, capacitors, batteries, and desalination, optics, high-energy particle physics, drug delivery systems, and so much more. Please join us in discovering the latest in this exciting field!

CONFERENCE SCOPE

The aerogel community invites scientists, engineers, students, and industrial partners working with or interested in learning about aerogels to the premiere international conference on the subject. We welcome contributions on any and all topics related to aerogels including synthesis, characterization, and applications in various fields. Our growing community is eager to host contributions from all fields and from all over the world. This conference will be the fourth in the series and promises to be the biggest and best yet!
