R&D, market, and business data from Mergeflow.
What is aerogel?
Aerogel is a material derived from a gel, however the liquid component for the gel has been replaced with a gas without substantially affecting the gel structure. The result is a solid with very low density and very low thermal conductivity.
Technology Readiness Level
According to Mergeflow's data and analyses (see 360° Report), aerogels is present in venture capital, market estimates, and mainstream industry news.
This suggests a TRL rating of 'Mature' (TRL 7-9).
For more information on how to use Mergeflow data for TRL estimation, please see this article in our technical FAQ.
