Packing Properties of Nanoporous Deformable Gel Particles During Solvent Exchange and Supercritical Drying

Aerogels are lightweight solid materials with special properties. In particular biopolymer-based aerogels with their biodegradability can be used in various applications. However, the production process is still very expensive: therefore the scale up and a more detailed knowledge of the mechanical properties of aerogels are necessary. The overall objective of this work is the experimental investigation and modeling of the mechanical properties of aerogel particels in a fixed bed during the production process.
