What are the Applications of Supercritical Drying?
Supercritical drying has numerous applications in nanotechnology:
Aerogels: Supercritical drying is essential for the fabrication of silica aerogels, carbon aerogels, and other types of aerogels used in thermal insulation, catalysis, and drug delivery. Nanoporous Materials: It is used to preserve the high surface area and porosity of nanoporous materials, which are critical for applications in gas storage and chemical sensing. Nanoparticles: Supercritical drying can be used to produce dry, stable nanoparticles for use in pharmaceuticals and electronics.
