Abstract
An acrogel composite includes aerogel particles and an encapsulator. The aerogel particles are coated with the encapsulator to yield an acrogel composite. Making an aerogel composite includes combining an encapsulator and aerogel particles, mixing the encapsulator and the aerogel particles to yield a granular blend including coated acrogel particles, and increasing a rate of mixing over a length of time to yield the aerogel composite.
