Aspen Aerogels is committed to advancing aerogel technology by exploring new chemistries, product forms and material properties that enable innovative design in addressing both traditional and emerging applications.
Aerogel technology will continue to evolve as new markets are identified and materials research advances. Aspen Aerogels addresses the research requirements through internal R&D, government grants, strategic alliances, and joint partnerships. In order to convey the depth of aerogel product development and application focus, we have listed a small segment of the on-going research within the company. Aspen will continually bring to market cutting edge technology, enabling a paradigm shift in the way we think about insulation and engineered materials. Aspen’s aerogel technology is the insulation solution for today and tomorrow.
