Research
The focus of the Aerogel group is on the process development and scale-up of the aerogel production. Our research deals with all aspects of aerogel processing: gelation, solvent exchange, supercritical drying, and post-functionalization. One of the key interest is biopolymer aerogels and their application in food, pharma and medical areas.
