Cost-Effective Preparation of Hydrophobic and Thermal-Insulating Silica Aerogels

The aim of this study is to reduce the manufacturing cost of a hydrophobic and heat-insulating silica aerogel and promote its industrial application in the field of thermal insulation. Silica aerogels with hydrophobicity and thermal-insulation capabilities were synthesized by using water-glass as th...
