  • Solvent management methods for gel production
    Patent number: 11731909
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention describe a method for manufacture of a gel material comprising the steps of: forming a gel sheet by dispensing a gel precursor mixture; allowing gelation to occur to the gel precursor mixture; and cooling the formed gel with a cooling system to control reaction rate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2020
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2023
    Inventors: George L. Gould, Kevin A. Schmidt, Christopher L. Marlette, Shahrooz Zaghi

  • Solvent management methods for gel production
    Patent number: 10590043
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention describe a method for continuous manufacture of a gel material comprising the steps of: forming a gel sheet by dispensing a gel precursor mixture onto a moving element; allowing gelation to occur to the gel precursor mixture; and cooling the formed gel with a cooling system, thereby reducing the rate of solvent evaporation therefrom.

  • Solvent management methods for gel production
    Patent number: 9476123
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention describe a method for continuous manufacture of a gel material comprising the steps of: forming a gel sheet by dispensing a gel precursor mixture onto a moving element at a rate effective to allow gelation to occur to the gel precursor mixture on the moving element; and cooling the formed gel thereby reducing the rate of solvent evaporation therefrom.

  • Composites based on macro and nanoporous materials
    Publication number: 20070102055
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention describe insulation systems comprising foam and nanoporous aerogel materials. Generally speaking, the insulation systems of the present invention may be employed for thermal management of essentially any surface, or volume whether enclosed fully or partially. The aerogel material(s) may reside between a foam material(s) and the region(s) to be insulated, encased partially or fully in the foam material(s) or otherwise combined therewith.
