National University of Singapore (NUS) scientists have developed super-light aerogels with new properties that are lightweight, highly absorbent, very durable, and highly efficient at trapping heat and sound. They have developed the aerogels from waste tyres. The aerogels could promote more extensive use of scrap tyres and offer an eco-friendly way to recycle used rubber.
Aerogels from Recycled Tyre Rubber
An aerogel is a synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component for the gel has been replaced with a gas. The result is a solid with extremely l...
