Pure silica aerogels are not suitable for high-temperature (500 ∼ 2000 K) thermal insulation applications due to their transparency to infrared thermal radiation. The addition of solid glass/ceramic fibers, such as aluminum oxide and silicon oxide, into the silica aerogel matrix can remarkably suppress the radiative heat transfer.
Aerogels properties render them suitable for industrial and commercial applications, such as insulation, electrical, optical and energy storage devices [11,12,13,14,15,16,17].Aerogels can be either made of a single material (carbon, silica, alumina etc.) or by combination of different materials forming composites with diverse
