(eds) Handbook of Aerogels (2023)https://hdl.handle.net/11420/44254This chapter presents a set of representative recipes for synthesizing a variety of aerogels of interest to academia and industry along with designs for equipment of utility for researching aerogels. Useful starting points for preparing aerogels of silica, various metal oxides, polymers, biopolymers, metal chalcogenides, metals, and nanocarbons are provided. Schematics for equipment including a low-cost supercritical CO2 dryer, a setup for performing high-temperature supercritical drying with a hot press instead of an autoclave, and a calibrated hot plate for measuring thermal conductivity are supplied.enEquipmentGuideHow toInstructionsMakeProcedureProtocolRecipeSupercritical dryerSynthesisEngineering and Applied OperationsRecipes and designs for aerogelsBook part10.1007/978-3-030-27322-4_65978-3-030-27321-7Other
