Emerging applications of aerogels in textiles

The high specific surface areas and porosities of aerogels can impart desirable properties to textiles. The most established application of aerogels in textiles is the enhancement of thermal insulation and this has been the subject of some excellent reviews. This review, for the first time, discusse...
