Aerogels find potential application in
1.Improving drug delivery
2.Oil spill cleaning
3.Heat insulation materials for buildings
Select the correct answer using the codes below.
Explanation:
Scientists recently successfully converted paper waste into green nontoxic cellulose aerogels.
Statement 1: It can be used in a drug delivery system owing to its biocompatibility. Due to its high surface area and porous structure, drugs can be adsorbed from supercritical CO2. The release rate of the drugs can be tailored by varying the properties of the aerogel.
Statement 2: It can be used as a chemical adsorber for cleaning up spills.
Statement 3: Aerogel is a synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas. The result is a solid with extremely low density and low thermal conductivity. It is nearly 98% air. So, it fits as a heat insulation material.
