Synthesis and Characterisation of Aerogels: Fundamentals and Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Polymer Chemistry“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aerogels are versatile materials with unique mesoporous structures that offer advantages over other classes of materials. From aerospace to biomedical applications, aerogels can be manipulated to fit a diverse set of technological and scientific needs. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the synthesis and characterisation of a wide variety of aerogels, and as a result, the application space has also broadened. We invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue, which is intentionally designed to cover a broad range of topics in aerogel research. This issue aims to highlight the breadth of ongoing aerogel research, both at the fundamental level as well as in the application space.
