Abstract

Aerogels are materials with high specific surface area and high porosity, which can be produced from polysaccharides such as starch [1,2]. Starch is an abundant and low-cost polymer with versatility in processing. Aerogel properties are influenced by the process parameters including starch-to-water ratio, gelatinization temperature (T), selection of non-solvent for water replacement in hydrogels, selection of drying method, drying pressure (P) and T, etc.
