the aerogel
The proper spelling is aerogel. It is not specially capitalized at the beginning or in the middle, nor should it contain a hyphen or a space. The word has been in technical usage since 1931 and is not a tradename or proper noun. Common incorrect spellings include "Aerogel', "AeroGel", "aero-gel", "aero gel", and alternative phonetic spellings such as "airojell" and "aerojell".

Aerogel is 39 times more insulating than the best fiberglass ever made.
After the published tables the silica aerogel is a very good thermal insulator.
Silica aerogel of ·1 g/cm3 starts at $8/g or 80¢/cm3. If you'd like densities toward the record of 1 mg/cm3, multiply by--I don't know--500? Carbon aerogels are somewhat cheaper, resorcinol formaldehyde cheaper still. You could make your own and maybe do better. It seems a 3mg/cm3 aerogel costs $2100/g or $6·2/cm3.
