The study investigates the use of silk microfibers with different aspect ratios to reinforce chitosan aerogels, significantly improving their mechanical properties and liquid transportation ...

Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts reports a sodium-alginate aerogel doped with 30 % phosphorylated chitosan that records LOI 33.7 %, PHRR 44 % drop and 0.035 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹ conductivity, promising ...

‘Aerogel’ is a broad term used to talk about an extraordinary group of materials that have been used since the 1960s in space travel, but are now finding uses across a whole range of industries.

At first glance, biodegradable materials, inks for 3D printing and aerogels don't seem to have much in common. All three have great potential for the future, however: "green" materials do not pollute ...
