Nanoporous Aerogel Insulation to base
Advanced technology for energy-efficient building
BASF Venture Capital GmbH, Ludwigshafen, has a round investment of
21.5 million U.S. dollars (about 15.7 million euros) in Aspen Aerogels

Aerogels are hydrated silica foams with nanoporous cavities that make
up 97 percent of their volume. Therefore, they are also called "fixed
air". Aerogels were thought to be extremely fragile and brittle
materials. Aspen is, however, managed to produce aerogels akzepztablen
costs in the form of thin, flexible mats that are more robust than the
conventional monoliths and beads. In this way they can be processed as
easily as any other flexible insulation.
