Biopolymer-Containing Aerogels: Chitosan-Silica Hybrid Aerogels

Abstract: Hybrid aerogels comprising bioderived polymers and metal oxides have been explored in the case of chitosan and silica. The physical properties of homogeneous aerogels have been explored extensively and structural models have been formulated on the basis of the data. One attractive feature of these materials is that the chemically functional groups on chitosan can be employed to develop transparent transition-and lanthanide-containing monolithic aerogels. The functionality and chemical properties also enable fo… Show more

“…Polysaccharide aerogels were also described with a high potential for drug release (Valentin et al 2005). The chitosan-silica aerogel composite (Chang et al 2008;Valentin et al 2007) exhibits a high drug loading with a better control of the drug release than silica (Yao et al 2011). Enzymes and proteins can be stabilized in silica alcogels and aerogels (El Rassy 2003;Basso et al 2000).…”
