Optical Property Analysis of Aerogels

Many aerogels are transparent or translucent such as silica aerogels, which is an unusual property for porous materials. The reason for this relatively rare property is due to the fact that the aerogel microstructure has a small scale compared to the wavelength of light. The optical properties of aerogels are closely related to their application, such as Kaon aerogel Cerenkov detector and aerogel glass. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the optical properties of aerogels for structure improvement and the deep application of aerogels.

Alfa Chemistry is your trusted partner in the field of aerogels. Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge technologies, we are capable of offering accurate optical data of aerogels or aerogel composites. We look forward to cooperating with you!

Analysis Method

Alfa Chemistry provides customers with professional optical property analysis services for aerogels by using the most mature method, that is, the integrating sphere method. This method is used to determine the spectral normal-hemispherical transmittance and reflectance of samples at room temperature. The normally incident light is reflected or refracted by the sample and then travels inside the integrating sphere. After multiple scattering reflections at the inner surface, a uniform irradiance distribution will appear at the inner surface of integrating sphere. Then the normal-hemispherical transmittance and reflectance can be derived from the irradiance of incident light and the measured output radiance. To measure the directional-hemispherical reflectance and transmittance of aerogels at a specific wavelength, UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer are often used in combination with the integrating sphere.
