“…They are highly porous, open cell, low density, nano-structured materials containing as much as 98% air volume and only 2% of silicon dioxide [1][2][3][4]. Therefore, applications of silica aerogels are potentially vast in number such as nuclear waste storage [5], Cerenkov radiation detectors in high-energy physics [6,7], inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets for thermonuclear fusion reactions [8] and thermal insulation in * Corresponding author.…”

“…Si(OH) 4 + (OC 2 H 5 ) 4 Si In the surface chemical modification with HMDZ in hexane, the replacement of H from Si OH group by Si R group, where R = alkyl, vinyl or methyl groups. The HMDZ provides the non-polar groups for the surface chemical modification of the gel through the Si (CH 3 ) 3 groups according to the following reactions:…”

“…[2,3]. Due to such versatile and most fascinating properties, the aerogels find several applications both in science and technology such as Cerenkov radiation detectors in high energy physics [4][5][6][7], inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets for thermonuclear fusion reactions [8], superthermal insulators in solar energy systems, refrigerators, thermos flasks [9,10], as catalytic supports [11], containers for liquid rocket propellants [12], windows for thermal and acoustic insulating systems [13,14]. Traditionally, the solvent in alcogel was removed by achieving supercritical stage to obtain the aerogels.…”

“…This porous structure gives rise to several physicochemical properties such as low density (∼0.03 g/cm 3 ), low thermal conductivity (∼0.02 Wm −1 K −1 ), low sound velocity (∼100 m/s) and high surface area (∼1600 m 2 /g) which finds applications in both science and technology like Cerenkov radiation detectors in nuclear reactors and high energy physics [1][2][3], windows for thermal and acoustic insulating systems [4,5], inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets for thermonuclear fusion reactions [6], containers for liquid rocket propellants [7], superthermal insulators in solar energy systems, refrigerators, thermos flasks and catalytic supports [8][9][10].…”
