Describe aerogel, including its properties and suitable uses.
What will be an ideal response?
Aerogel is a low-density material derived from gel in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with gas. The result is an extremely low-density solid with several remarkable thermal insulation properties. Since it is 99.8 percent air, it appears semi-transparent, making it ideally suitable as a thermal insulation material for windows and skylights.
