The invention relates to the technical field of composite materials, in particular to a foam reinforced
silicon dioxide
aerogel composite material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing
fumed silica slurry, adding an opacifying agent, a
silane coupling agent and the like, pouring the
slurry into foam, filling foam pores, then carrying out a
sol-gel process, and carrying out
drying in various forms after gelatinization to obtain the
aerogel composite material which can continue surface ceramization. The
composite material is composed of foam,
fumed silica,
aerogel and an opacifying agent, and has excellent mechanical
compressive strength, tensile strength, anti-vibration and anti-bending capability, durability,
compressibility and fireproof and
flame-retardant performance while keeping light weight, heat preservation and heat insulation performance and sound absorption and sound insulation performance. The aerogel composite material is good in flatness and stiffness and can be
cut, carved and processed into a complex profiling structure, the splicing rough edge heat bridge effect of a traditional
glass fiber aerogel material is reduced, and the heat insulation and energy saving efficiency is improved.
