The rapid surge in global energy needs has paved way for the development of various
alternatives to natural resources every now and then. However, dependence on coal-based …

Sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) is an abundant byproduct of the sugar and ethanol
industry. SCBA is generally used as a fertilizer or is disposed of in landfills, which has led to …

Being the lightest solid materials known, and given the great variety of possible chemistries
capable of yielding wet-gels, aerogels and composite aerogel materials have a tremendous …

Sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) is the final waste material in the sugar production chain.
Due to the pozzolanic characteristic and the abundance, SCBA has been tried to utilized in …

The present review deals with recent advances in the rapidly growing field of aerogel
research and technology. The major focus of the review lies in approaches that allow …

Large quantities of fly ash are discharged as a by-product from coal power plants. Therefore,
an effective method to recycle this waste material is necessary. In this regard, the high silica …

In recent years, the amount of agricultural and industrial wastes being generated is
increasing rapidly. This leads to numerous disposals, governance, and environmental …

A bio-based ceramic/organic xerogel (BCO-xerogel) was obtained from the combination of
sugarcane bagasse ash, polyvinyl alcohol, and pine cone-derived tannin extract, which are …

The present review focuses on synergistic effectsof silica aerogels/xerogels on properties of
polymer composites. In first part of the review, synthesis of silica aerogels/xerogels from …

Biodegradable cellulose aerogels have been successfully prepared from coir fibers using a
