- An overview on silica aerogels synthesis and different mechanical reinforcing strategies (2014, background): “Finally, the future trends for development of flexible and bendable hybrid thin sheets of silica aerogels are addressed, being these materials suitable for folding or wrapping around different space assemblages, such as around the electronics and battery packs in the Mars Sojourner Rover [10].”
- Aerogels in Aerospace: An Overview (2013, methodology): “NASA has previously used monolithic silica aerogels for the thermal insulation for space applications [56].”
- A review of state-of-the-art aerogel applications in buildings (2013, background): “The unusual properties of the aerogels afford their suitability for many applications in commercial and high-tech fields, such as waste management (gas absorption, radioactive waste confinement), thermal insulation (cryogenic to high temperatures), superinsulating jackets, laser experiments, sensors”
