Abstract: Insulated assemblies, insulation units including an assembly, and methods of forming the assemblies and units are disclosed. Exemplary assemblies include a first pane of material, a second pane of material, and one or more monolithic insulating layers interposed between the first pane of material and the second pane of material. The insulating layer can exhibit a thermal conductivity less than 26 mW/(K.m).

Abstract: Disclosed are cellulose-based 5 flexible aerogels and xerogels containing bacterial cellulose nanorods, ribbons, fibers, and the like, wherein the gels have tunable optical, heat transfer, and stiffness properties. Further disclosed are highly transparent and flexible cellulose nanofiber-polysiloxane composite aerogels featuring enhanced mechanical robustness, tunable optical anisotropy, and low thermal conductivity.
