“…Aerogel is a low-density nanoporous solid material with an ultrafine open pore structure, resulting in extremely large surface areas and low densities [ 6 ]. Aerogels have been prepared from various materials, including biopolymers [ 7 , 8 ], resulting in a desirable combination of properties suitable for many non-medical applications such as water purification [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], thermal insulation [ 13 ], acoustic properties [ 14 ], etc., and medical applications such as drug delivery [ 15 , 16 ], biosensing [ 17 , 18 ], tissue scaffolding, and regenerative medicine [ 19 , 20 ]. Various technological approaches have been developed to fabricate aerogel scaffolds, including freeze-drying, phase separation, particulate-leaching, and gas foaming, showing inexpensive approaches and optimized physicochemical property structures [ 21 ].…”
