Abstract
Particulate aerogel material kit for grip enhancement, and related systems and methods, are generally described. Certain embodiments are related to interfaces comprising human skin, a layer of particulate aerogel material, and a solid surface. Methods of creating such interfaces, packaging the particulate aerogel material, and applications thereof (including kits for grip enhancement) are also described.
Claims25
A kit for hand grip enhancement kit, comprising:
- a plurality of aerogel particles;
- and
- a container containing the aerogel particles and adapted to apply a portion of the plurality of aerogel particles to a user's hands;
- wherein the plurality of aerogel particles are not dispersed in a liquid;
- wherein the plurality of aerogel particles have been rendered hydrophobic by reaction with a hydrophobe;
- and
- wherein when the skin of the user's hand is treated with the portion of the plurality of aerogel particles, a coefficient of friction between the skin and a solid surface increases by at least 1%.
