Biobased AerogelsPolysaccharide and Protein-based Materials\nAuthor(s): Sabu Thomas, Laly A Pothan, Rubie Mavelil-Sam\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Royal Society of Chemistry, United Kingdom\nImprint: Royal Society of Chemistry\nISBN-13: 9781782627654, 978-1782627654\nSynopsis\nAerogels have been in use for over 80 years and have been utilised in a wide variety of applications, in particular, there has been growing use of insulating nanoporous materials in the aerospace industry. Recent awareness of the environmental implications of materials has driven researchers to develop new green materials, with aerogels being developed using biobased constituents, such as polysaccharides and proteins. Recently, biobased components, such as cellulose nanocrystals, have replaced synthetic counterparts in the production of nanoporous materials.\nBiobased Aerogels is the first book to cover aerogel research from a green perspective, using commentary and analysis from leading researchers working in.
