Process for sub-critically drying aerogels

A process for the subcritical drying of a lyogel to give an aerogel comprises treating the lyogel with a heat transfer liquid which has a temperature above the boiling point of the pore liquid of the lyogel under the pressure of the system and subsequently separating the dried aerogel from the heat transfer liquid.
