Review and Perspectives on the Sustainability of Organic Aerogels.
Review in ACS sustainable chemistry & engineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aerogels are exceptionally lightweight materials characterized by their high open porosity and remarkable specific surface area, currently used across a wide array of industrial sectors from construction to energy storage and have great potential for expanding their applicability and unlocking new market opportunities. Driven by global economic growth and an intensifying environmental crisis, there is a growing demand for engineering innovations that prioritize sustainability. Aerogels are well-positioned to support these sustainability efforts. Their unique properties make them ideal for energy-saving solutions, environmental remediation, and more efficient use of resources. As the demand for eco-conscious technologies rises, aerogels are poised to contribute significantly to the development of greener, more efficient products and processes across multiple industries. The sustainability of aerogel technology is crucial for the mid-to-long-term future, yet its current status has been scarcely reviewed in the literature. This Perspective explores and critically reviews significant advances on organic and hybrid aerogels in the current socioeconomic scenario, with selected case studies endorsing their contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It also identifies research gaps while proposing innovative strategies to enhance the sustainability of aerogel production through the application of circular economy principles. Key strategies discussed involve the fabrication of aerogels using eco-friendly sources, such as biopolymers derived from biorefinery processes or from waste materials. Additionally, this Perspective examines the development of methods for the reuse, recycling, and end-of-life management of aerogels, along with the implementation of more efficient processing routes. Ultimately, this work highlights the need for comprehensive assessments of aerogel sustainability through life cycle assessment (LCA) and evaluations of safety and toxicity. By addressing these critical aspects, the potential of aerogels to contribute to a more sustainable future appears highly favorable from both commercial and research perspectives, paving the way for a circular aerogel economy and providing a lasting impact to the society in which we live.
