Thermal insulative performance of bamboo leaf aerogel opacified usingactivated carbon compared with carbon black

Silica aerogel with extremely low thermal conductivity has great potential to be used as thermal insulating material. Opacification using carbon black is normally applied to reduce radiative heat loss in silica aerogel. This work attempted to replace carbon black with activated carbon as opacifer. B...
