Aerogels are the lightest known solids that have been groundbreaking with their introduction to the scientific world. In addition to their lightness feature, they have many important properties. Having nanopores provides very important advantages such as thermal insulation, sound insulation and low dielectric coefficient etc. The production of aerogels, whose market share is increasing day by day around the world, is also increasing. It offers opportunities to obtain different properties with different production parameters and different chemical structures. The superior properties of aerogels are also used to improve the properties of textile materials. They are especially used in the development of technical textile products with performance and functionality expectations. Silica-based aerogels stand out with their very low thermal conductivity coefficients. Silica aerogels, which are mostly used to improve the thermal insulation properties of materials, also attract attention with their water-repellent properties. In the literature, there are various studies on aerogel applications on woven and knitted textile surfaces, especially non-woven surfaces. This article focuses on the properties, production and use of aerogels with textile materials.
