Abstract
A method of making an aerogel insulation material for use in building insulation, by: (a) producing short fibers with attached aerogel particles; (b) depositing the short fibers onto a continuously moving fiber web; (c) crosslapping the continuously moving aerogel-embedded fiber web back and forth on top of itself to produce a layered aerogel-embedded fiber web; (d) passing the layered aerogel-embedded fiber web through a belt press to compress the layered aerogel-embedded fiber web into a stable compressed composite; and then (e) cutting or rolling the stable compressed composite into desired sizes.

A method of making an aerogel insulation material for use in building insulation, comprising:
- producing a supply of short fibers having aerogel particles attached thereto;
- providing a continuously moving fiber web;
- depositing the short fibers having aerogel particles attached thereto onto the continuously moving fiber web to produce an aerogel-embedded fiber web;
- crosslapping the continuously moving aerogel-embedded fiber web back and forth on top of itself to produce a layered aerogel-embedded fiber web;
- passing the layered aerogel-embedded fiber web through a belt press to compress the layered aerogel-embedded fiber web into a stable compressed composite;
- and then cutting or rolling the stable compressed composite into desired sizes.
