Question

The translucent material between the matches and the flame is aerogel which is a synthetic material that is generally an excellent insulator. How was is most likely produced?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Aerogel is a material that is 99.8% air. ... Aerogels are good thermal insulators because they almost nullify two of the three methods of heat transfer – conduction (they are mostly composed of insulating gas) and convection (the microstructure prevents net gas movement).
