Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide materials that are relatively light and that combine desired mechanical properties and insulating characteristics, articles and methods for their manufacture and use.SOLUTION: The present invention provides composites such as self-supporting rigid composites that have low thermal conductivity and attractive mechanical properties. Methods for preparing such composites include, for example, combining an aerogel-containing material with a binder to form slurry and allowing the slurry to harden. At least part of the hardening process is conducted under compression. 【課題】比較的に軽く、そして所望の機械的性質と絶縁特性を組み合わせた材料、物品ならびにその製造および使用方法を提供する。【解決手段】低熱伝導度および魅力的な機械的性質を含む自立性硬質複合材などの複合材。例えば、エーロゲル含有材料をバインダと混合してスラリーを形成し、そしてそのスラリーを硬化させることを含む、そのような複合材の調製方法。この硬化プロセスの少なくとも一部は、圧縮下に行なわれる。【選択図】図3
