The invention relates to a
flame-retardant and heat-insulating
aerogel composite material as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of novel building materials. The
fiber aerogel is prepared through coaxial electrostatic
spinning, an
injector containing a
polymer spinning solution is connected to a
skin layer needle tube connecting port, an
injector containing air is connected to a core layer needle tube connecting port, coaxial electrostatic
spinning is carried out to prepare micron fibers with
skin-core structures, the micron fibers fall on a receiving base material, and the micron fibers with the
skin-core structures fall on the receiving base material. A hollow
fiber aerogel material with a three-dimensional fluffy structure is obtained, in-situ growth of hydrated nano
silicate particles is carried out after thermal crosslinking treatment, the nano
silicate particles grow along the
fiber surface and cover the micron fiber surface of the hollow fiber aerogel material, and the aerogel
composite material is obtained. The hydrated nano
silicate particle growth solution comprises
polyvinyl alcohol,
calcium salt, silicate and aluminum salt. The prepared aerogel
composite material has excellent
flame retardance and heat insulation performance and is suitable for being used as a
building material.
