Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of heat insulation and particularly relates to an aerogel material. A method for preparing bulk-shaped flexible aerogel through normal-pressure drying is provided aiming at the defects that when aerogel is prepared through normal-pressure drying in the prior art, fibers and other supports are directly added, and stress is not uniform, so that hole diameters and hole structures are broken. According to the method, fiber crystal nuclei are dispersed in wet gel, the crystal nuclei grow through continuous graded heating and reaction control to form uniformly-dispersed nano-fibers, further growth connection is carried out, and uniform supporting stress is provided for a gel network. Meanwhile, the nano-fibers grow in nano network holes of the gel, and the supporting effect of the nano-fibers is more excellent. The bulk-shaped aerogel obtained through normal-pressure drying is integral and uniform in network structure, low in density, high in porosity and good in strength and toughness.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of thermal insulation, and in particular relates to an airgel material, in particular to a method for preparing bulky flexible airgel by drying under normal pressure. Background technique [0002] Due to its nanoporous structure, low density, low dielectric constant, low thermal conductivity, high porosity, and high specific surface area, aerogels have unique properties in mechanics, acoustics, heat, and optics. Due to the high cost of airgel preparation, it has been used in high-end fields such as aerospace and military. However, with the continuous improvement of technology, its cost has been continuously reduced, so its application in civilian applications has great potential. Airgel is the material with the best thermal insulation performance so far, especially in the thermal insulation fields of petroleum, chemical industry and construction, the use of aerogel will become the mainstream. [0003] Airgel is a ch...
