Abstract
The present invention provides compositions and methods related to aerogel materials, including polyimide-based aerogels. In particular, aerogel materials optimized to have certain physical and chemical properties such as flexural and compressive strength are provided. In some embodiments, the aerogel materials can be at least partially carbonized.
Claims25
An aerogel laminate panel comprising:
- a reinforced layer comprising a polyimide aerogel and a carbon fiber batting material, the reinforced layer having a first major face and a second major face,
- wherein the reinforced layer has a flexural strength in a range of about 105 psi to about 275 psi and a compressive Young's modulus in a range of about 182 psi to about 215 psi;
- and
- a facesheet on the first major face of the reinforced layer comprising the polyimide aerogel.
