An improved process for the production of ultralow density, high specific surface area gel products is provided which comprises providing, in an enclosed chamber, a mixture made up of small particles of material suspended in gas; the particles are then caused to aggregate in the chamber to form ramified fractal aggregate gels. The particles should have a radius (a) of up to about 50 nm and the aerosol should have a volume fraction (fv) of at least 10−4. In preferred practice, the mixture is created by a spark-induced explosion of a precursor material (e.g., a hydrocarbon) and oxygen within the chamber. New compositions of matter are disclosed having densities below 3.0 mg/cc.

We claim: 1. A method of forming a gel product comprising the steps of: providing in an enclosed chamber a mixture including a plurality of particles of material suspended in gas, said particles having an average radius (a) of up to about 50 nm and said mixture having a volume fraction (fv) of at least about 10−4; and causing said particles to aggregate within said chamber under quiescent conditions to form said gel product, said gel being formed by Brownian aggregation of said particles within said chamber. 2. The method of claim 1, said material comprising a carbon-containing material. 3. The method of claim 2, said material comprising carbon derived from a C2-C12 hydrocarbon. 4. The method of claim 3, said hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of C2-C8 hydrocarbons. 5. The method of claim 1, said mixture being explosively generated in said chamber. 6. The method of claim 5, said mixture being generated by the steps comprising providing in said chamber an explosive mixture of a precursor to said particles of material and oxygen, and exploding said mixture. 7. The method of claim 6, said exploding step comprising the step of generating a spark within said chamber. 8. The method of claim 1, including the step of allowing said particles to aggregate for a period of at least about 10 minutes. 9. The method of claim 8, the period being from about 10 minutes to 2 hours. 10. The method of claim 1, said radius being up to about 20 nm. 11. The method of claim 1, said method being a batch method. 12. The method of claim 1, said material being only a single material. 13. The method of claim 1, said particles comprising a plurality of particles made up of different materials. 14. The method of claim 1, said particles selected from the group consisting of carbon-, silicon-, and titanium-bearing particles and mixtures thereof. 15. A gel product produced by the method of claim 1. 16. A composition of matter comprising a solid formed of carbon and having a density of less than 6.5 mg/cc. 17. The composition of matter of claim 16, said composition including a fraction not composed of silicon dioxide. 18. The composition of matter of claim 17, said composition being essentially free of silicon dioxide. 19. The composition of matter of claim 16, said density ranging from about 2.1 to less than 3.0 mg/cc. 20. The composition of matter of claim 16, said solid having a BET surface area of from about 100-400 m2/g. 21. The composition of matter of claim 16, said solid being a ramified fractal aggregate gel. 22. The composition of matter of claim 16, said carbon being graphitic carbon. 23. A method of forming a gel product comprising the steps of: providing in an enclosed chamber a mixture including a plurality of particles of material suspended in gas, said particles having an average radius (a) of up to about 50 nm and said mixture having a volume fraction (fv) of at least about 10−4; and causing said particles to aggregate within said chamber and form said gel product, said mixture being explosively generated in said chamber. 24. The method of claim 23, said mixture being generated by the steps comprising providing in said chamber an explosive mixture of a precursor to said particles of material and oxygen, and exploding said mixture. 25. The method of claim 24, said exploding step comprising the step of generating a spark within said chamber. 26. A gel product produced by the method of claim 23.
