Is there anyone who is expert in building materials? I need some info about Aerogel insulating properties;
Beside blanket aerogel insulation that is used recently; Is it possible to use in other ways as an envelope layer?
What happens if we fill an Aerogel cube with water as it is hydrophobic?
See e.g. this book chapter (and in general the whole book (with three volumes)): B. P. Jelle, R. Baetens and A. Gustavsen, ”Aerogel Insulation for Building Applications”, in ”The Sol-Gel Handbook”, D. Levy and M. Zayat (Eds.), Wiley-VCH, Vol. 3, pp. 1385-1412, 2015.

Dear Amir Tabadkani ;
Aerogel is made of more than 90% of air, having extremely low weight, transparency, and excellent thermal conductivity. Aerogel is an ideal material for thermal insulation due to all these properties . Also their high visible solar transmittance is desirable for application in windows.
