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.
