Aerogels have long been desirable as composite materials on account of their lightweight nature and high thermal insulating properties, but existing aerogels are made from particulate silica, which inhibits their adoption in plastics-based composite structures. To overcome this issue, a solution based on polyimide (PI) resin is now available that is claimed to be a highly capable core material that is extremely easy to incorporate.
