Aerogels belong to the lightest solids. Their high nanoporosity, their high adsorption capacity offer unique opportunities to improve thermal insulation products, humodity and gas adsorption, drug delivery etc.

For the first time, aerogel beads have been produced in pilot scale during the project.

Title Non-Conventional Methods for Gelation of Alginate (

Abstract
This review presents and critically evaluates recent advances in non-conventional gelation method of native alginate. A special focus is given to the following three methods: cryotropic gelation, non-solvent induced phase separation and carbon dioxide induced gelation. A few other gelation approaches are also briefly reviewed. Results are discussed in the context of subsequent freeze and supercritical drying. The methods are selected so as to provide the readers with a range of novel tools and tactics of pore engineering for alginate and other anionic polysaccharides.
