The aerogel can achieve "shape memory"

The chemists have developed the aerogel that can memorize the shapes.

Chemists from the University of Missouri recently have produced out rubber-like aerogel with elasticity.

It is reported that the aerogel can achieve "shape memory".

The industry expert pointed out that the aerogel is to use the gas in silicon dioxide, metal oxide, or polymer gel instead of liquid solvents, which can be used in various products, including submarine oil pipeline insulation materials, various types of insulation materials usage in the space missions.

In addition, this particular type of polyurethane aerogel has a strong elasticity, can be bent in any direction or be crushed, and then still restored to the original shape.

It is reported that the aerogel can always maintain the deformed shape after the deformation and cooling process, and when the temperature rises to room temperature, they will return to the original undeformed shape.

Shengli Oilfield to achieve the industrial production of aerogel insulation tube New Thermal Insulating Material  - aerogel Heat Insulation Tubes Achieve Industrial Production in Shengli Oilfield. The first batch production which promote the 20000 m aerogel insulation materials, has been for the Shengli Oilfield to save heat pipe update costs 10.8 million yuan. Aerogel is the smallest density of the solid, its fire and heat insulation performance are better than the traditional products on the market. In order to meet the needs of oilfield production, Shengli Oilfield Petroleum Engineering Technology Research Institute has developed a hydrophobic fiber reinforced Ti-Si composite aerogel insulation material to improve the thermal insulation properties and hydrophobic properties of materials under high temperature; Tube insulation structure, reducing the dependence of the insulation on the vacuum, greatly improving the thermal life, to fill the aerogels in the field of wellbore insu

What’s the Difference? Drywall vs. Plaster

图片
If you’re thinking of taking on a wall construction project in your home, you’ll likely hear of two options: drywall and plaster. Newer homes tend to feature drywall, a material comprised of gypsum sandwiched between two sheets of paper and usually sold in 4-foot-by-8-foot panels. Drywall installs quickly and fairly easily by screwing it into the studs of the wall, and today it comes in a variety of thicknesses and other options to choose from. Plaster and lath, on the other hand, is a more labor-intensive but high-end wall treatment where workers nail lengths of wood called lath to the studs and then apply several coats of plaster over top, used in most homes built before World War II. Both methods have their respective strengths and weaknesses, so we’re breaking down the two  oil pipeline insulation   materials here—drywall vs plaster. Keep reading for what you should consider before planning your next project. Plaster is more labor-intensive than drywall. In fact, the shortage

C oncept  of silica aerogel The thickness of  aerogel is  less than one centimeter, flame spray at 1300 ℃ , it  still can be touch ed by hand , when put it on the petals, it will not overwhelm the flowers; stained with water, but also Like a lotus leaf waterproof. This is known as "change the world of magical material", now far away from the town of more than 20 kilometers east of the plant in the scale of production. Its manufacturers Guangdong high-tech Technology Co., Ltd., but also by the Qingyuan party secretary Ge Changwei as hiding in the mountains in the "Golden Phoenix." According to media reports, at present, the company's aerogels production capacity of up to 200 million yuan, is the first domestic, the world's second large-scale production of aerogels to the enterprise, is the world's second largest industrial Production of aerogel  and aerogel  in line with the ability of  building insulation materials  leading enterprises to fill the g
