Chemically treated silica aerogel for the use in lightweight cementitious composite

Silica aerogel (SA) has recently gained attention as an alternative to lightweight aggregate in lightweight cementitious composite (LCC). However, it is challenging to ensure homogenous mix of hydrophobicity SA and aqueous cementitious composite. This study investigates a novel chemical treatment of...
