Abstract: | An ambient drying process (1 atm, 270 °C) has been developed in order to synthesize window glazing coated with silica aerogel films. The aerogel film could be manufactured by this process of wet gel films obtained via a dip-/spin-coating of the silica sol on a glass slide. Before drying, the isoproponol solvent in wet gels was exchanged with n-heptane to minimize the drying shrinkage. The thickness, refractive index, and porosity of silica films were 0.16–10 μm, 1.08–1.09, and 80–84%, respectively. The transmittance of window glazing was over 90% and we could predict that the optimal thermal conductivity (0.2 W/(m K)) of the window glazing would be obtained at the aerogel thickness of 100 μm (0.016 W/(m K)). |
