Curing treatments of silica gel for fire-retardant glass by intumescence
Abstract Silica hydrogels are used as fire-retardant materials due to the occurrence of intumescence that limits heat and mass transfer. They act as heat-sink, through continuous endothermic condensation reactions, meantime shrinking to a more connected network, towards the correspondent crystalline...
