Microscopic revelation of the solid–gas coupling and Knudsen effect on the thermal conductivity of silica aerogel with inter-connected pores

Abstract As a star insulation material, aerogel plays a significant role in saving energy and meeting temperature requirements in industry due to its extremely low thermal conductivity. The prediction of aerogel’s thermal conductivity is of great interest in both research and industry, particularly...
