“…This is similar to alginate hydrogels whose swelling behavior is influenced by the crosslinker concentration as well 15 . Thereby aerogels made by amidated pectin can also be tuned to possess superabsorbent property similar to those reported for alginate aerogels 16 . By using the CO 2 induced gelation considering amidated pectin (or alginate) as the primary system, further diversity can be incorporated into the aerogels by introducing different cross linking agents and biopolymer combinations.…”

“…There are natural anionic polysaccharides with ability to form strong hydrogels with divalent and trivalent cations, although divalent ions cause contraction of polymer network (during crosslinking process) affecting the water absorption capacity. On the other hand, these hydrogels can be readily transformed to aerogel by scCO 2 -assisted drying [82]. The aerogel possesses highly porous polymeric network with connected pathways throughout the material.…”

“…This synergy of properties has prompted to view biopolymer aerogels as promising candidates for a wide gamut of applications. Up-to-date reports on biopolymer aerogels describe their use for thermal insulation [3][4][5][6][7][8], tissue engineering and regenerative medicine [9], drug delivery systems [10,11], functional foods [12], as catalysts and sensors [13,14], adsorbents [15][16][17]and as starting materials for carbon aerogels [18] and porous mixed-oxides [13,19].…”
