Abstract: Aerogels due to its nano-sized porous structure possess properties which are fascinating as well as promising for a large number of technological applications. Aerogels are (< 100 nm) and hence possess extremely low density ( -0.003g/cm³) and solids with high porosity very low conductivity (~10mW/mK). Silica aerogel namely, has found profound interest among researchers and has been extensively studied for their thermal, mechanical and hydrophobic properties. They have 90% porosity with a thermal conductivity lower than that of air, and this makes silica aerogel an important media for conceptualising it as a highly insulating material. The present review focuses the various work done on silica aerogel based coatings and the functionality of silica aerogel as an insulating material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
