This invention relates to the field of
aerogel composite materials technology, and more specifically, to C / SiC foam-reinforced SiC
aerogel composite materials and their preparation methods. This invention uses lightweight, high-strength C foam as the skeleton material for the
aerogel composite material, and achieves mechanical modification and reinforcement of the C foam skeleton through a SiC
coating. The SiC aerogel is obtained by in-situ molding on the surface of the C / SiC foam skeleton using a
sol-gel process combined with a carbothermal reduction process, achieving integral molding of the aerogel
composite material. Through a gradient structure design, the precursor organic
sol solution can better penetrate into the pores of the C foam skeleton. Simultaneously, the
porosity can be adjusted to control the proportion of SiC aerogel, optimizing
impedance matching characteristics and facilitating surface electromagnetic wave incidence. Furthermore, the internal C foam skeleton also exhibits a gradient distribution, optimizing
dielectric loss attenuation and facilitating incident
electromagnetic wave absorption, thus synergistically achieving the
wave absorption performance of the aerogel
composite material.
