Overview

JOINT EVENT

3RD AEROGEL INDUSTRY-ACADEMIA FORUM - PROCESSES, PRODUCTS, APPLICATIONS & MARKETS 

The aerogel world is undergoing rapid development. On the industry side, new players are entering the market. New aerogel producers, including start-ups but also established materials manufacturers, introduce their products, compete for market share, or aim to develop new applications and markets. In the meantime, traditional manufacturers keep innovating. Silica aerogel remains the most important product, but polymer and biopolymer aerogels are becoming available as well. Other companies focus on developing process technologies or aerogel based products. On the academic side, there has been a veritable explosion of research into understanding traditional aerogel materials and applications, as well as new aerogel materials combinations, precursors and sustainable raw materials, new aerogel synthesis routes and new potential applications. 

5TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AEROGELS FOR BIOMEDICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS

Aerogels are advanced, highly porous materials designed to meet the criteria of biomedical or environmental applications. They can be used as drug carriers, bone grafts, or wound dressings in biomedical applications and as insulators, absorbents, sensors, and catalysts in environmental applications. This conference aims to assemble and integrate the most recent progress in aerogels’ scientific and technological knowledge
