Wettability Study of Super-Hydrophobic Silica Aerogel Powders
Due to the importance of super-hydrophobic silica aerogel powder as a material in the field of energy saving, its wettability in the presence of various surfactants was investigated. One anionic and two non-ionic surfactants with different molecular structures were used as wetting and dispersing agents. Wetting properties of the aerogel powders were investigated by the contact angle measure...
متن کاملOptical shock waves in silica aerogel.
Silica aerogels are materials well suited for high power nonlinear optical applications. In such regime, the non-trivial thermal properties may give rise to the generation of optical shock waves, which are also affected by the structural disorder due to the porous solid-state gel. Here we report on an experimental investigation in terms of beam waist and input power, and identify various regime...
متن کاملFlexible, Stable, and Easily Processable Optical Silicones for Low Loss Polymer Waveguides
Photopatternable optical silicone materials have been developed that can be fabricated into flexible polymer waveguides using conventional film processing and photolithography techniques. Waveguides designed for multimode applications have demonstrated loss of 0.05 dB/cm at 850 nm. These waveguides have proven stable in 85% relative humidity and 85 C storage conditions for greater than 2000 ho...
متن کاملImpacts in Aerogel at Low Temperatures
Introduction: The use of aerogel as a capture medium for particles traveling at high speeds has been long established (see [1] for a recent review). Aerogel collectors have several times been deployed in Low Earth Orbit. Recently, the Stardust space mission [2] has returned to Earth (Jan. 2006) carrying aerogel which was used to collect an estimated 2800±500 freshly emitted cometary dust grains...
متن کاملAerogel Growth, Optical Birefringence Characterization, and Use in Ultra Low Temperature Superfluid
Superfluid He has important implications in studying condensed matter physics, specifically in its phases at very low temperatures. The understanding of these phases not only expands our knowledge of He itself, but is also a paradigm for recently discovered unconventional superconductors such as strontium ruthenate (SrRuO3) and uranium platinum three (UPt3). Superfluid He’s relation to supercon...
