water from a colloidal silica gel without collapse its overall structure. When gels get dry normal temperatures and pressures its affect the surface tension in tiny pores of the gel causes the structure to collapse and reduce itself to roughly 10 times its original volume. To produce aerogel‚ a gel is placed in a vessel of high heat (280°C or 536°F) and pressure (1800 pounds per square inch‚ or 1241 Newton’s per square centimeter). This causes all the liquid within the gel to transform into a supercritical

reduce the number of Styrofoam that will be thrown away. Styrofoam is made of polystyrene beads which unravel into fine strands whenever it is melted/dissolved. Due to the unraveling of polystyrene‚ the Styrofoam will become a thick like gel. When it is a gel‚ it will be moldable and when it dries it will be very sticky. It is a very effective adhesive to glue things together. But it is not very safe since it is napalm and it can damage the lungs if it is burned. It also gives off a foul odor

solid soluble glass. Considering the differences of alkali metal oxide‚ soluble glass can be divided into sodium silicate and potassium silicate‚ and sodium silicate is often used. Among the components of sodium silicate (Na2O*nSiO2)‚ the ratio of silicon oxide molecules to sodium oxide molecules is known as the module of soluble glass‚ generally between 1.5 to 3.5. And the number of module decides the properties and performance of soluble glass. The solid soluble glass with low module is relatively
