Problems solved by technology

For the modification of the impregnated surface modifier, due to the large molecular size of the modifier, it will take a long time to diffuse into the gel for modification, especially for thicker gels, it is easy to make the internal modification Inhomogeneous; the modification method combined with the two methods has the best effect, but it also has the problem of using a large amount of solvent
However, the in-situ modification method will cause large drying shrinkage and collapse of the pore structure during the drying process due to incomplete surface modification.
[0004] In order to achieve normal pressure drying, in the prior art, modifiers are often used to modify the surface of the gel skeleton and then perform solvent replacement. For example, hexane with a lower surface tension is used for multiple solvent replacements before drying, but the replacement process requires a lot of organic solvents and takes a long time

Abstract

The invention discloses an ambient pressure drying method of silsesquioxane aerogel. According to the ambient pressure drying method of the silsesquioxane aerogel, methyltrimethoxysilane is taken as aprecursor, water is taken as a solvent to be combined with a surfactant, silica wet gel with a large aperture size can be prepared through a sol-gel process, after solvent replacement by ethanol is carried out, the silica wet gel is directly and slowly dried at high temperature, and a silsesquioxane aerogel material can be prepared. According to the ambient pressure drying method of the silsesquioxane aerogel, the methyltrimethoxysilane is selected as the precursor, so that the in-situ modification of a gel skeleton surface is realized, the aperture structure is controlled by the surfactant content, the solvent replacement efficiency can be improved, the capillary force during drying can be reduced, the use amount of organic solvent in the ambient pressure drying process is greatly reduced, and the large-scale production is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing silsesquioxane airgel, in particular to a method for drying silsesquioxane aerogel under normal pressure, and belongs to the technical field of nanoporous materials. Background technique [0002] As a typical nanoporous material, airgel has received extensive attention in the fields of aerospace thermal protection and civil building energy-saving insulation due to its unique properties such as low density, high specific surface area, and low thermal conductivity. However, in order to keep the pore structure from collapsing during the preparation of airgel materials, supercritical drying methods or normal pressure drying methods are often used. Among them, supercritical drying eliminates the surface tension of the pore liquid, which can keep the pore structure from being deformed by capillary force during the drying process. However, the supercritical drying process is highly dependent on equipment and hi...
