Aerogels - The Strong but
Lightweight Material
Aerogels are a differing class of permeable, strong materials that show a strange exhibit of
outrageous materials properties. Most particularly aerogels are referred for their outrageous
low densities (that is in the range of 0.0011 to ~0.5 g cm-3). Actually, out of the solid
materials with lowest density that have ever been manufactured are all aerogels, which
includes a silica aerogel that when manufactured was just three times more heavier than
that of air, and can also be made much lighter than the air by emptying the airs from its
pores. All things considered, aerogels normally have the densities of 0.020 g cm-3 or more
(around 15 times more than that of air). In any case, even at these densities, it might take
150 block measured bits of aerogel to weigh as much as a solitary gallon of water!
