Aerogels have attracted growing interest for use in high-performance applications due to their ultra-light, nanoporous properties. Although originally produced as silica monoliths, aerogels are now commercially available in a variety of materials, shapes, and sizes to meet the demands of a broader range of applications. Increasing demand for high-performance thermal insulation; continued expansion of the green-building market; more stringent environmental regulations; and greater utilization in the healthcare, personal care, and energy sectors will drive steady growth in this market for the foreseeable future.
