Abstract

Aerogels (AGs) are porous materials with unique properties such as high specific surface area and low density, which makes them suitable for many applications in various medical, food and environmental sectors. At present, various types of AGs are being developed on a laboratory scale, with some even progressing to the pilot plant stage of development. The purpose of this review is to gather recent information from the literature on the classification, characterization, production and some applications of AGs in tissue engineering (TE), drug delivery, enzyme immobilization, food packaging, and pollutant removal sectors. © 2024
