About

The aerogel world is undergoing rapid development. On the industry side, new players are entering the market. New aerogel producers, including start-ups but also established materials manufacturers, introduce their products, fight for market share, or aim to develop new applications and markets. In the meantime, traditional manufacturers are also innovating. Silica aerogel remains the important product, but polymer and biopolymer aerogels are becoming available as well. Other companies focus on developing process technologies or aerogel based product development. On the academic side, there has been a veritable explosion of research into understanding traditional aerogel materials and applications, as well as new aerogel materials combinations, new precursors and sustainable raw materials, new aerogel synthesis routes and new potential applications.

Aerogel Slam

We would be delighted to have a series of aerogel slams to accompany the dinner. The only rules here, a slam should be short (< 10’), not resemble a traditional presentation and have something, however remote, to do with aerogels. Find here examples of science slams: English / German

If you have any ideas, please contact us at aerogel@empa.ch
