Development of a New Silica Aerogel-Polypropylene Foam Composite as a Highly Flexible Thermal Insulation Material
A new flexible thermal insulation sheet, a composite of silica aerogel with polypropylene (PP) foam, has been developed. Even though a large volume ratio of silica aerogel (97%) was included, the composite showed high flexibility. Thermal conductivity of the composite was 0.016 W/(m⋅K) at 298 K, whi...
