Silica aerogels with a surface area as high as 773 m(2) g(-1) and a density of 0.077 g cm(-3) were produced from rice husk via sol-gel process and ambient pressure drying. A particulate composite material was prepared by adding silica aerogel particles of three different particle sizes (powder, granules and bead) to unsaturated polyester resin with a fixed volume fraction of 30%. Thermogravimetric and thermal conductivity studies revealed that silica aerogel composites were having higher thermal stability and thermal insulation than the neat resin. It was suggested that the preservation of aerogel pores from resin intrusion is important for better thermal properties. Larger silica aerogel particles have more porous area (unwetted region) which results in a lower degradation rate and lower thermal conductivity of the base polymer. However, the addition of silica aerogel into resin has reduced the tensile modulus of the polymer matrix where smaller particle size displayed higher toughness than those with bigger particle size.
