Development of super thermal insulating material (AEROGEL) based flexible blanket system for the inter- planetary missions with gaseous convective environments
Implementing Organization
Dr. Aditya Singh, Indian Institute Of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, Uttarakhand
Project Overview
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.
