An ambient pressure, low cycle time method for the synthesis and manufacture of a low cost, highly insulating, highly translucent, and low density transition metal-based hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanogel. The important aspects are the method of synthesis, the stage of imparting hydrophobicity, and the process of manufacture. The method comprises the steps of mixing a chilled precursor solution with a chilled catalyst solution such that the mixture has a pH of between 9.5 and 12.2. The mixture is maintained at a temperature of 34~F-55~F for between 1 and 120 minutes to form a gel. The gel is silated the gel for about 120 minutes, washed in a wash fluid, then dried and annealed to form the aerogel.

L'invention concerne un procédé à pression ambiante et à faible durée de cycle, pour la synthèse et la fabrication d'un nanogel hydrophile et hydrophobe, à base d'un métal de transition à faible densité, hautement isolant, hautement translucide, et à faible coût. Les aspects importants portent sur le procédé de synthèse, l'étape consistant à impartir une hydrophobicité, et le procédé de fabrication. Le procédé comprend les étapes de mélange d'une solution de précurseur refroidie avec une solution de catalyseur refroidie, de façon que le mélange présente un pH compris entre 9,5 et 12,2. Le mélange est maintenu à une température de 34 °F- 55 °F pendant 1 à 120 minutes, de manière à former un gel. Le gel est silylé pendant environ 120 minutes, lavé dans un fluide de lavage, puis séché et recuit pour former l'aérogel.
