Resumen

Los aerogeles a base de nanocelulosa han emergido como materiales prometedores en diversas aplicaciones industriales debido a sus propiedades excepcionales, como alta porosidad, baja densidad y capacidad de absorción. Estos materiales, derivados del biopolímero más abundante en la Tierra, la celulosa, presentan ventajas significativas en la búsqueda de soluciones sostenibles y eficientes. La nanocelulosa, obtenida a través de métodos avanzados de síntesis, ofrece una combinación única de resistencia mecánica, biodegradabilidad y compatibilidad ambiental. Este artículo revisa las aplicaciones de los aerogeles de nanocelulosa en la agroindustria, destacando su potencial en el embalaje de alimentos, control de humedad y filtración de agua, entre otros. Además, se exploran los desafíos asociados con su producción a gran escala y las perspectivas futuras en la integración de estos materiales en sistemas industriales y tecnológicos más amplios. Con un enfoque en la sostenibilidad y la eficiencia, los aerogeles de nanocelulosa representan una innovación clave en la ciencia de los materiales y sus aplicaciones en sectores críticos.
