Highly flexible aerogel insulated structures and method of manufacturing the same

Flexible fiber-reinforced aerogel insulation that stays moisture-permeable unlocks high-performance building envelopes.

What it is

The technology forms flexible, moisture-permeable insulation structures by embedding aerogels in fiber-reinforced materials and manufacturing them into hole-punched and strip forms. It’s technically significant because flexible aerogel boards/sheets can be installed around irregular geometries while targeting low thermal conductivity typically associated with aerogels. Previously, teams building these specific flexible aerogel insulation formats often required licensing from the patent holder to manufacture compatible products.

What you could build

Launch flexible retrofit insulation kits for exterior walls and HVAC duct wraps that install like textiles, not rigid panels.
