Microstructure and application of SiC aerogel

Caption

The SiC aerogel, derived from kapok fibers, demonstrates outstanding comprehensive properties, including exceptional electromagnetic wave absorption (with a minimum reflection loss of -56.39 dB), high compressive strength (2.85 MPa), excellent thermal insulation (0.021 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹), and strong adsorption capacity (45–67 times its own weight).
