First, let's look at the basic structure of nanoaerogel. Nano-aerogel is a kind of solid material composed of nano-sized pores, which are much smaller than water molecules. This means that it is difficult for water molecules to pass through these holes, effectively blocking water molecules from penetrating. This unique solid nanoscale porous structure makes the nanoaerogel have excellent water resistance.

In addition to its porous structure, the surface properties of the nanoaerogel are also a key factor in its water resistance. The surface of aerogel is hydrophobic, that is, its surface repels water molecules, so that water cannot stay on the surface of the material. This hydrophobicity further enhances the water resistance of the aerogel and allows it to remain dry even in humid environments.

The waterproof properties of nano aerogel make it widely used in many fields. For example, in the field of construction, nano aerogel can be applied as a waterproof material to the roof, basement and other places that need moisture, improving the durability and comfort of the building. In the aerospace sector, nanoaerogels can be used to protect equipment such as aircraft and satellites from harsh environments. In addition, nano aerogel can also be used to manufacture high performance adsorbents, heat insulation materials and so on.

The reason why nano aerogel can be waterproof is mainly due to its solid nanoscale porous structure and surface hydrophobicity. This excellent waterproof performance makes nano aerogel have a wide range of application prospects in many fields, and brings convenience and benefits to people's life and work.
