Development of super thermal insulating material (AEROGEL) based flexible blanket system for the inter- planetary missions with gaseous convective environments

Implementing Organization

Indian Institute of Technology Goa

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee

About

The project aimed at development of a strong flexible silica aerogel hybrid composite which can be thermally stable upto 400-450 degree celsius ,using some semi-crystalline polymer in combination with carbon based nanomaterial;to reatin the advantages of silica aerogel due to presence of porosity /low density in the hybrid composite;reducing the solar transmittance below 10% maintaining the essential requirement for photosynthesis.

Outcome / Output

The project being undertaken by ISRO in collaboration with academia is directly or indirectly beneficial to the society.
