This new eco-friendly cotton aerogel is a major
improvement from the aerogel that our team had previously developed using paper
waste.
While we have demonstrated novel application of
the cotton aerogels for effective haemorrhage control and heat insulation, we
will continue to explore new functions for this advanced material, said Assoc
Prof Duong.
To address these limitations, NUS researchers
developed highly compressible hybrid cotton aerogel pellets which are more
effective than cellulose-based sponges for treatment of deep haemorrhagic
wounds.
These pellets - comprising an optimal mix of
cotton and cellulose aerogels coated with chitosan - are simple and
cost-effective to produce, and they can be easily integrated into a clinical
syringe to be used as a haemorrhage control device.
The heat insulation property of the novel cotton
aerogels can be applied to various consumer products, such as cooler bags to
keep food items fresh.
