The effect of silica aerogel on thermal and sound absorption insulation properties of epoxy plate and glass fiber fabric epoxy composite

“…[3][4][5][6][7] There are many of studies reported on improvement of mechanical properties of epoxy-based composites by filling with silica aerogel. [6][7][8][9][10] In addition to mechanical properties, some of the researchers focused on the thermal insulation properties of silica aerogel incorporated epoxy composites. Kucharek et al [2020] revealed that incorporating aerogel particles into the epoxy resin decreased thermal conductivity from about 190 to 130 mW/mK at 5 wt % of silica aerogel concentration.…”
