Abstract
A method includes acquiring a three-dimensional printed template created using an additive manufacturing technique, infilling the template with an aerogel precursor solution, allowing formation of a sol-gel, and converting the sol-gel to an aerogel.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- acquiring a three-dimensional printed template created using an additive manufacturing technique, wherein lengths of at least some continuous portions of the template extend an entire length of the template;
- infilling the template with an aerogel precursor solution;
- allowing formation of a sol-gel;
- and
- converting the sol-gel to an aerogel.
