An article includes a laminate material with an aerogel layer and a polysiloxane layer distinct from the aerogel layer and in contact with the aerogel layer either directly or through an adhesive that is in direct contact with both the aerogel layer and the polysiloxane layer; where the polysiloxane layer comprises a polysiloxane and greater than 5 weight-percent and 95 weight-percent or less based on polysiloxane layer weight of fire retarding additives selected from a group consisting of metal hydroxides, mixed metal hydroxides, hydrated metal salts, and any combinations thereof dispersed throughout the polysiloxane layer.

Aerogel polysiloxane layer laminate structure

A composition and a method for preparing a polymer composite article. The composition comprises (A) a filler in an amount of from 10 to 90 wt. The composition also comprises (B) a polymer in an amount of from 10 to 90 wt. %, wherein the (B) polymer is selected from polyolefins, polyamides, polyesters, or combinations thereof.
