Silica-aerogel composite, a silica-aerogel reinforced with fibrous matting, are being considered as an isolative material for footwear. The suitability for such applications has been investigated in the study presented in this article. Experiments were conducted on laminated silica aerogel composite (LAC). Lamination of silica aerogel composite with a solid membrane is needed to prevent spreading of crushed silica aerogel dust into surrounding. LAC was subjected to cyclic of flexing to simulate mechanical stress that occurs during normal usage condition in footwear applications. The study highlights the impact of the irreversible crushed structure of silica aerogel on the permeability and thermal resistance, tensile properties and the quality of lamination.
