From Polymeric Wet-Gels to Functional Materials: Drying and Post-Processing

Abstract

Green technologies refer to a type of technology that is environmentally friendly based on its production process or its supply chain (i.e resources). Green tech also refers to clean energy production, use of alternative fuels, and processes that are less harmful to the environment compared to ones with fossil fuels. The focus of this presentation is: 1) Processing of polymers obtained from renewable resources that are recyclable and/or biodegradable, 2) Use of environmentally friendly techniques for the preparation of advanced materials (dry porous forms).
