In the field of apparels, polymers are widely used because of their versatility and distinctive properties. The objective of this study is to understand the penetration behavior of selected polymers in aerogel. Experiments were conducted and observations were made to understand this behavior of polymers into aerogel granular particles. Two organic polymers namely, Polyurethane and Shellac were chosen for this study. These two polymers were selected since they have considerably low thermal conductivity. To enable detailed study under the optical microscope, the polymers were mixed with disperse dye without a dispersing agent. Thereafter, the samples were studied under optical microscope. Under the microscope, it was seen that polymers did not penetrate in aerogel granular particles. The mean pore diameter and surface area of aerogel before and after penetration of polymer was compared. The mean pore diameter and internal surface area was determined by nitrogen adsorption/desorption test. The study was conducted under standard atmospheric conditions."@en . . "5"^^ . .
