Dragonfly Insulation Ltd (DF) is a UK-based advanced material manufacturing company that specialises in aerogel technologies. This project builds on the successful IUK ICURe project which has taken DF's silica aerogel manufacturing process from laboratory to small scale production.Silica aerogel is an extremely light, highly thermally efficient insulation material that is stable at high temperatures. Previously used by NASA and space programmes, it is an insulation material of the future with the potential to significantly impact on the thermal efficiency of our homes, of industry and the achievement of NetZero.The project will build on DF's patented processes to develop a scaleable, resource efficient, modularised manufacturing process to efficiently scale production of silica aerogels, up or down, without disrupting the process, through a system of interchangeable modules that can be added to, removed, or modified to meet production and product application needs. Incorporating energy exchange systems to capture and repurpose waste energy will reduce energy consumption and manufacturing costs, addressing the need for sustainable manufacturing as we strive towards NetZero.The proposed project aligns with the Innovate UK plan for action and has the potential to have a significant impact on the future economy areas of the broader theme of NetZero.

Dragonfly Insulation Ltd（DF）是一家总部位于英国的先进材料制造公司，专门从事气凝胶技术。该项目建立在成功的IUK ICURe项目的基础上，该项目将DF的二氧化硅气凝胶制造工艺从实验室推广到小规模生产。二氧化硅气凝胶是一种极轻，高热效率高的绝缘材料，在高温下稳定。该项目将在DF的专利工艺基础上，开发一种可扩展、资源高效、模块化的生产工艺，在不中断生产工艺的前提下，有效地实现二氧化硅气凝胶的规模化生产。通过可互换模块的系统，可以添加、移除或修改模块以满足生产和产品应用需求。通过改造能源交换系统来捕获和重新利用废弃能源，将降低能源消耗和制造成本，满足我们在努力实现NetZero的过程中对可持续制造的需求。拟议的项目符合Innovate UK行动计划，并有可能对NetZero更广泛主题的未来经济领域产生重大影响。
