as for aerogel its a rather remarkable substance... very good for insulation... it does not work like ryu says as far as shattering but... its almost as light as a feather and sounds like glass when it hits something... its weird stuff... also it can absorb heat from a bunsen burner and protect anythong on the other side... i remember seeing it protect a crayon from a burner... its rather interesting stuff
and how it is made
http://www.aerogel.org/?p=4
it could work just fine with the capsule system mentioned before
I'm pretty sure Ryuu's Aerogel is meant to be something completely different. Sort of like how in reality black holes are globs of ridiculous amounts of mass but in some settings they're portals to parallel universes and stuff.
i was throwing the more realistic stuff up.. just so we have ideas to work around... and there are multiple types of aerogel from what i saw... also when i think parallel universe portals i think wormholes not black holes... but ehh..
as for aerogel... anything with a thin edge could be made into a blade if vibrated enough... aerogel may not be super strong but i beleive vibrating it would not be hard to do... in this way i think it would work just fine as a weapon but that is up to others to say not truely me
