New tannin–lignin aerogels
L. I. Grishechko,G. Amaral-Labat,A. Szczurek,Vanessa Fierro,Boris N. Kuznetsov,Antonio Pizzi,Alain Celzard +6 more
TL;DR: The porosity of the resulting aerogels, dried with supercritical CO 2, has been systematically investigated in terms of surface area, macro (pore width < 50nm), meso (2-50nm), and microporosity (microporose) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spray freeze-dried nanofibrillated cellulose aerogels with thermal superinsulating properties.
TL;DR: Nanofibrillated cellulose aerogels prepared by spray freeze-drying showed a fibril skeleton morphology, which defines a mesoporous structure, making them one of the best cellulose based thermal superinsulating material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of novel whey protein-based aerogels as drug carriers for life science applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study of the properties of the resulting whey protein aerogels and cryogels was carried out, and the use of whey proteins as carriers for active compounds was assessed using ketoprofen as the model drug.
