UPDATE: GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS has named the graphene aerogel featured in this video the “world’s least dense 3-D printed object. The achievement will be featured in the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS 2018 Edition.

An international research team – led by engineers from the University at Buffalo and Kansas State University – are using a modified 3-D printer and frozen water to create three-dimensional objects made of graphene oxide.
The structures could be an important step toward making graphene commercially viable in electronics, medical diagnostic devices and other industries.

Pacor is a proud partner/fabricator of Aspen Aerogels, manufacturer of revolutionary insulation material made from nanoporous aerogel. Pacor offers customized aerogel Insulation for high temperature applications (Pyrogel) and cryogenic applications (Cryogel). Both are flexible insulation offerings designed to deliver maximum thermal protection with minimal weight and thickness.
If you think aerogels have to be brittle and blue, shift your expectations with an amazing new class of aerogel supermaterials based on polyimides invented by NASA, now commercially available exclusively from Aerogel Technologies. These new polyimide aerogels are 13x lighter than plastics yet offer the strength and durability expected of engineering materials while being machinable, water-resistant, and non-flammable. Recently NASA and Boston-based Aerogel Technologies have partnered to bring NASA’s polyimide aerogels to market for applications including planes, drones, cars, and rockets to save weight, reduce fuel consumption, and increase payload capacity. And if that weren’t enough, these new polyimide aerogels are also up to 100x more soundproof than any other soundproofing material and are unmatched dielectrics for lightweight communications systems. NASA’s polyimide aerogels are now commercially available under the tradename Airloy X116 and are available for purchase at BuyAerogel.com. Whether it’s astro to aero, zero to sixty, or door to door drone delivery, Airloy X116 will help you engineer limitless possibilities.

What is PrimaLoft Aerogel, and how does it work? We asked our two most knowledgeable product development team members, Lauren Taylor and Meghan Martens, to dive into what makes this technology so great – and how it keeps you safe in the coldest, harshest environments on the planet.
This work demonstrates how to prepare biopolymer aerogels in 3 hours by using only three green solvents: water, ethanol and pressurized carbon dioxide.
The Aerogel Seminar 2018 date is fast approaching. To get a gist of what’s in store, click the video from a previous aerogel conference organized in Hamburg (2014)
