Aerogels are nanoporous structures with low thermal conductivity, specific mass and refractive index. These materials can be divided into organic, inorganic and hybrid groups. The advantages of aerogels include their synthesis with raw materials from different natures, such as macronutrients, metal oxides, polymers, carbon allotropes and transition metals. Prospects for the future applications of aerogels focus on the synthesis of functional foods, medicines, impact absorbing materials, catalytic supports, and aerospace components.
