Porous Aerogels

Porous Aerogels

Samad Yaseen, Ata-ur-Rehman, Ghulam Ali, Ghulam Shabbir, Syed Mustansar Abbas

The current chapter reviews porous aerogels that have been more utilized including silicate and non-silicate (ZrO2 and TiO2) aerogels. In addition, the recently focused aerogels like composite/hybrid aerogels, polymeric, carbon-based (mostly CNTs and graphene-based) and biogels have been summarized. The metal chalcogenide aerogels display unique properties, unlike the conventional oxide-based aerogels. The diverse utility of these porous aerogels encompasses environmental, biomedical, catalytic and advanced applications especially graphene and CNTs based aerogels have applications in modern devices primarily due to surpassed surface area, porosity and structural adaptability.
