In this paper, a pipeline implementing a multi-scale approach that can be used for modelling different steps of aerogel production is presented. Closely integrated modulesfor aerogel structures generation, properties prediction and adsorption, diffusion and chromatography processes modelling provide various options for systematic and comprehensive study of aerogels by performing computational experiments, which allows to reduce number of laboratory experiments. The results of pipeline validation are presented for ...

The unique properties of aerogels make them promising materials for use in various industries. The production lines, which are currently organized by foreign companies, are aimed at obtaining exclusively monoliths and blankets of aerogels of certain sizes. However, for many potential applications, forms other than monoliths, namely particles, are required. In many works, the prospects and relevance of the use of organic aerogel particles for pharmaceuticals (drug delivery systems), medicine (medical products), foo...
