Challenges Faced in New Aerogel Material R&D
R&D of new aerogel materials can be very exciting and futuristic for innovative companies, but we have to face the reality at present. Here are some challenges in new aerogel material R&D:
Production Technical Problem
On one hand, developing a new kind of aerogel from raw materials needs mature aerogel production technology, which is quite a big challenge. The whole process of aerogel production involves precise controls of complex parameters like pressure, temperature, drying conditions, etc. On the other hand, developing a new aerogel composite material also requires complex composite technology, which is also a big challenge for aerogel innovation companies. It is a good choice to cooperate with professional aerogel manufacturers or laboratories that have mastered aerogel production technology and related composite technologies.
Cost-effective Production Problem
Only mastering the aerogel production technology itself is far from enough. Compared with conventional materials, total costs of aerogel material production are usually much higher. To develop new aerogel materials with great prospects, finding cost-effective production methods while ensuring the product quality and performance is a major challenge for aerogel innovation companies.
Mass Production and Commercialization
The transition from laboratory experimental success to mass production is a major challenge. Designing scalable production processes while maintaining product consistency and quality stability, is essential for the commercial viability of new aerogel products. Overcoming technical and economic barriers to mass production is critical in the R&D of new aerogel materials.
To Optimize Aerogel Properties for Specific Applications
Aerogel has multiple properties and can be used for different application purposes, such as thermal insulation, adsorption, catalysis, etc. Optimizing aerogel performance for specific application scenarios is also challenging. Developers need to adjust the composition, pore structure and surface chemistry of aerogels to meet the requirements of different industries and applications.
Impact on the Environment
Fully considering how to minimize the environmental impact of new aerogel materials during their production and recycling is also a challenge. R&D of new aerogel materials should focus on developing sustainable and eco-friendly production methods, and exploring ways to safely recycle or dispose the new aerogel materials after their service life comes to an end.
