Technology and Capabilities 

Aerogel Core develops graphene-based materials, bio-based aerogels and specialist acoustic capabilities for customers solving demanding engineering problems.

Our work is designed for teams that need practical solutions for thermal insulation, sound attenuation, weight reduction and performance-led design.


Our technology platform
 

At the core of Aerogel Core is the development of lightweight, multifunctional material systems for high-value applications.

Our materials are differentiated by:

-Improved thermal insulation

-Enhanced acoustic performance

-Reduced weight

Application-specific design flexibility
 

A key part of our approach is the use of graphene-based materials, bio-based aerogels and lower-carbon material strategies, helping customers explore advanced solutions aligned with both engineering and sustainability goals


Aerogel materials
 

We produce Bio-based and other aerogels for thermal and acoustic applications.

Our primary development focus is on aerogel materials for applications where both mass and performance are critical. Our sectors of focus are:

Aerospace

Marine & Maritime clean energy

Automotive

We are particularly interested in applications where conventional insulation or acoustic treatment materials introduce too much weight, too little multifunctionality or limited scope for performance optimisation.

We are experts in material application-led development where:

A target thermal behaviour is required 

A specific acoustic response is required

Design constraints make material selection challenging 

The environment is challenging 

Integration requirements are complex
 

Our current pipeline includes aerospace and marine applications.

Graphene-based materials
 

Alongside our aerogel platform, Aerogel Core is developing graphene-based materials for applications where thermal management, lightweight design and multifunctional performance are important.

Our graphene-based work supports the broader goal of creating material systems that combine high-value technical performance with more efficient and lower-impact design pathways.


Acoustic engineering capability
 
Acoustic performance by design

A major differentiator for Aerogel Core is our ability not only to develop materials, but to engineer performance around specific acoustic requirements. Our materials:

Reduce unwanted noise

Improve product acoustic behaviour

Optimise insulation performance

Can be adapted for a critical frequency range

Performance potential

In internal development testing, our acoustic insulation concepts have shown the potential to outperform conventional acoustic insulation materials, with particularly strong gains in targeted configurations.

For customers, this creates the opportunity to pursue lighter and more effective acoustic solutions tailored to application-specific requirements.


Acoustic testing & consultancy
 
Testing and consultancy for product development

We provide acoustic testing and consultancy support for customers developing products, components and engineering systems. This includes: 

Material evaluation

Acoustic assessment

Design optimisation

R&D decision support

Performance-led product development

Our consultancy experience includes projects with Tier 1 automotive OEMs and specialist clients in the creative sector, including confidential programmes where acoustic performance was business-critical.

3D printing & prototyping
 

Prototyping support for faster development

We also offer 3D printing and prototyping support to help teams move more quickly from concept to testable hardware.

We help you to achieve:

Faster design iteration

Effective demonstrator development

Optimised form and fit evaluation

Rigorous early-stage testing programmes

While advanced materials remain our top strategic priority, prototyping strengthens our ability to support customers across the development cycle.

Who we work with
 

We work primarily with aerospace R&D teams, marine and maritime clean-energy buyers, and automotive innovators and engineering teams.

These are the sectors where we currently see the strongest fit for our combination of lightweight materials, thermal performance and acoustic engineering.
