Thus, the mass closure of construction industries has negatively affected the growth of the nano-silica market. The launch of 3D printing aerogel microstructures has created immense demand in the nano-silica market. The 3D-printed aerogel micro-structures provide thermal insulation for miniature components. For instance, in 2020, a team of EMPA in Switzerland has developed a technique to 3D print microstructures using insulating silica aerogels. The team has clicked in generating stable, well-acclimated microstructures from silica aerogel by utilizing a 3D printer. The printed structures can be as slender as a tenth of a millimetre. The aerogel can be used to insulate small electronic components and even build small pumps and sensors. The thermal conductivity of the silica aerogel is scarcely under 16 mW/(m*K), which is half of that of polystyrene, and even extremely less than that of a non-moving layer of air at 26 mW/(m*K). At an equivalent period of your time, the printed silica aerogel has even more evolved mechanical attributes and may even be riddled and crushed. This exposes completely new feasibilities for the post-processing of 3D-printed aerogel mouldings.
