1. A method of making aerogel particles having a mean particle size of less than 1 micron comprising milling starting aerogel particles and treating the starting aerogel particles in a solution comprising one or more agents that prevent agglomeration during milling to form milled aerogel particles,
1. A method of making aerogel particles having a mean particle size of less than 1 micron comprising milling starting aerogel particles and treating the starting aerogel particles in a solution comprising one or more agents that prevent agglomeration during milling to form milled aerogel particles, and then drying said milled aerogel particles to obtain dried aerogel particles in an unagglomerated state, wherein the starting aerogel particles and the dried aerogel particles are hydrophobic aerogel particles, and wherein the dried aerogel particles have a thermal conductivity of less than about 40 mW/m° K. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the starting aerogel particles are milled through a homogenizer. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the milling is wet milling. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said wet milling occurs in an organic liquid. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein said wet milling occurs in an aqueous liquid. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the solution comprises hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS). 7. The method of claim 4, wherein the particle size of the starting aerogel particles is decreased while simultaneously preventing agglomeration. 8. The method of claim 6, further comprising at least one acid, and IDA. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the starting aerogel particles is silica hydrosol. 10. The method of making the aerogel particles of claim 1, wherein the solution comprises trimethylalkoxysilane, hexamethyldisilazane (HMDZ), chlorosilane, and optionally containing an alcohol, ammonia, or both. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein, as part of said treating, at least one functional organic group is attached to the starting aerogel particles. 12. The method of making the aerogel particles of claim 11, wherein the at least one functional organic group is vinyl. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the aerogel particles are hydrophobic aerogel particles. 14. A method of making aerogel particles having a mean particle size of less than one micron comprising sonicating a solution comprising starting aerogel particles in the presence of a silylating agent to form said aerogel particles having said mean particle size to form milled aerogel particles, and then drying said milled aerogel particles to obtain dried aerogel particles in an unagglomerated state, wherein the starting aerogel particles and the dried aerogel particles are hydrophobic aerogel particles, and wherein the dried aerogel particles have a thermal conductivity of less than about 40 mW/m° K. 15. A method of making aerogel particles having a mean particle size of less than one micron comprising sonicating a solution comprising dry starting aerogel particles and solvent, in the absence of a silylating agent to form said aerogel particles having said mean particle size to form milled aerogel particles, and then drying said milled aerogel particles to obtain dried aerogel particles in an unagglomerated state, wherein the starting aerogel particles and the dried aerogel particles are hydrophobic aerogel particles, and wherein the dried aerogel particles have a thermal conductivity of less than about 40 mW/m° K. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising forming a porous thin aerogel film from said aerogel particles. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein said solution treats at least a portion of a surface of said starting aerogel particles or treats newly generated surfaces of said aerogel particle during said milling, or both. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein said starting aerogel particles are treated with at least one wetting agent. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein said solution comprises at least one hydrophobing agent.
