“…Refractive index (n) of the aerogels was calculated with the formula of Clausius-Mosotti (Eq. (8)), (Poelz and Riethmuller, 1982). n = 3 2 s n 2 s − 1 n 2 s + 2 = 1 + 0.19 (7) where n and n s are refractive indices and and s the densities of aerogel and silica, respectively.…”

“…The first scientific application of aerogels was the Cherenkov radiation detector, developed by Cantin et al in 1974. Subsequently, mass production started and several cubic meters of monolithic highly transparent tiles of silica aerogel were produced to equip the TASSO Cherenkov detector [23].…”

Aerogels are highly porous structures prepared via a sol-gel process and supercritical drying technology. Among the classes of aerogels, silica aerogel exhibits the most remarkable physical properties, possessing lower density, thermal conductivity, refractive index, and dielectric constant than any solids. Its acoustical property is such that it can absorb the sound waves reducing speed to 100 m/s compared to 332 m/s for air. However, when it comes to commercialization, the result is not as expected. It seems that mass production, particularly in the aerospace industry, has dawdled behind. This paper highlights the evolution of aerogels in general and discusses the functions and significances of silica aerogel in previous astronautical applications. Future outer-space applications have been proposed as per the current research trend. Finally, the implementation of conventional silica aerogel in aeronautics is argued with an alternative known as Maerogel.
