1,2Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, A.P. Shah Institute of technology, Maharashtra, India ----------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------AbstractIn this paper the current techniques for synthesizing aerogel and its applications are reviewed in which the fillers are supercritical CO2. In this paper we have tried to provide the synthesizing techniques with a computational overview. Aerogel which is also called as frozen smoke was first created by Samuel Stephan kister in 1931. It is a material which is produced by extracting liquid components of a gel through the process of supercritical drying whose process and significance is mentioned in this paper. The application of aerogel along with its properties are mentioned below in a tabular form systematically arranged. This paper also reveals the use of aerogel as a sensors. Aerogel can be positively used as a sensors due to its high surface act...
