Prevention of the Aggregation of Nanoparticles during the Synthesis of Nanogold-Containing Silica Aerogels.
István Lázár,Hanna Judit Szabó +1 more
TL;DR: Using the polymeric stabilizer poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) efficiently prevented the aggregation of the particles, even in the presence of high concentrations of carbon dioxide, and allowed the production of nanoAu containing silica aerogels in a single step, without the modification of technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
ROMP crosslinkers for the preparation of aliphatic aerogels
Jeremy M. Lenhardt,Sung Ho Kim,Marcus A. Worsley,Roald N. Leif,Patrick G. Campbell,Theodore F. Baumann,Joseph H. Satcher +6 more
TL;DR: The use of crosslinkable monomers allows the straightforward synthesis of aerogels consisting of only carbon and hydrogen with C:H ratios up to ca CH 158 with a finer microstructure than that of DCPD.
Journal ArticleDOI
MFC/NFC-Based Foam/Aerogel for Production of Porous Materials: Preparation, Properties and Applications.
TL;DR: The existing technical problems and main solutions are summarized, two stable systems and several drying processes are described, and the application potential of cellulose-based porous materials in the future is described, which provides a reference for subsequent research.

A review of chitin and chitosan applications
TL;DR: Chitin is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide and is estimated to be produced annually almost as much as cellulose, and recent progress in chitin chemistry is quite noteworthy as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels for biomedical applications.
TL;DR: The composition and synthesis of hydrogels, the character of their absorbed water, and permeation of solutes within their swollen matrices are reviewed to identify the most important properties relevant to their biomedical applications.
