This invention discloses a method for preparing modified high-
silica fiber-reinforced SiO2
aerogel composite materials, comprising the following preparation steps: First, high-silica fibers are oxidized, then immersed in KH-550 and KH-560 hydrolysates respectively, and vacuum dried to obtain modified high-silica fibers; then, using methoxytrimethylsilane and tetraethyl
silicate as
silicon source co-precursors, the modified high-silica fibers are added to the
silicon source co-precursors, and a
sol-gel freeze-
drying process is used to prepare the modified high-
silica fiber-reinforced SiO2
aerogel composite material. This invention allows the high-silica fibers to form more Si-O-Si bonds with the SiO2
aerogel, thereby improving the mechanical and thermal properties of the aerogel
composite material. This
fiber-reinforced aerogel preparation process is simple, low-cost, and exhibits excellent overall performance.
