The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) for the fabrication of phenolic aerogels that would be used as cores of vacuum insulated panels. Synthesis and characterization of the aerogels, as well as panel fabrication, would be carried out over a two year period at VCU in Richmond, Virginia.
