Aerogels are brand-new engineering porous materials, generated in abundance at the
beginning of the 21st century. The promising features in conventional aerogels, such as …

Amidst the rapid advancements in materials science, the exploration of aerogel-based
biomaterials has garnered extensive attention across diverse sectors, including …

Herein, a cellulose-based aerogel, containing graphene-oxide (GO), chemically-reduced-
GO (CrGO), and thermally-reduced-GO (TrGO), has been facile prepared to investigate …

Forming fibers for fabric insulation is difficult using aerogels, which have excellent thermal
insulation performance but poor mechanical properties. A previous study proposed a novel …

In this work, polyurethane aerogels are fabricated in re-entrant honeycomb forms to achieve
auxeticity and much higher flexibility than corresponding aerogel monoliths. For this …

In this study, we have developed novel biomimetic silica composite aerogels and cryogels
for the first time, drawing inspiration from the natural diatom's silicification process. Our …

Previous works from our laboratory have firmly established that aerogels are a suitable
substrate to elicit accelerated neurite extension. On non-conducting aerogels, in the …

The complex and highly tortuous microstructure of aerogels has led to the superior
insulating capabilities that aerogels are known for. This open cell microstructure has also …

Cell behaviour is influenced by external factors including the physical properties of the
substrate such as its surface topography and stiffness. Recent studies have demonstrated …

Medical implants are routinely tracked and monitored using different techniques, such as
MRI, X-ray, and ultrasound. Due to the need for ionizing radiation, the two former methods …
