Organic Aerogels with Very High Impact Strength
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of Chitin Hydrogel Under Mild Conditions
TL;DR: The chitin hydrogel was found to be effective under anhydrous conditions because the alcohols were exchangeable with other organic solvents in solution and was more susceptible to lysozyme than to Chitinase, and showed and a poor susceptibility to chitosanase.

Adsorption of Drugs on Silica Aerogels
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the hydrophobicity of the carrier material on the adsorption process of drugs on silica aerogels has been investigated, and it has been shown that both hydrophilic and hydrophobic aerogel can be used as a carrier material.
