Not just hot air
Article Abstract:
Aerogels are one of the most promising new insulating materials, as well as having other uses and properties. The Battelle Laboratories in Columbus, OH and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in California have produced new, more durable forms of aerogels and shortened the manufacture process to three to six hours. Their products offer good insulation with R values of seven to nine/in., low bulk densities (.10 to .14 g/cubic cm), and greatly improved elasticity.
