- Abstract
Fiber-reinforced aerogels are a class of reinforced aerogels characterized by very low thermal conductivity, hydrophobicity and most importantly load bearing capability. In this work, an experimental study describing the damage in these fiber-reinforced aerogels through various uniaxial compression tests is presented. While understanding the damage evolution at the micro-scale, we come across three probable sources contributing towards the damage evolution. They are: (a) matrix cracks, (b) debonding of particles due to fiber sliding, and (c) breakage of fibers. (© 2014 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
