Problems solved by technology

However, this method can only strengthen the surface or contact surface of the airgel, and it is difficult to strengthen the overall airgel material.
In addition, when an organic binder is selected, the binder will react with oxygen and decompose under high temperature conditions, which reduces the degree of bonding between the fiber mesh cloth and the airgel, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of the composite material.
Moreover, the mesh of the fiber mesh cloth is also difficult to prevent the airgel composite material from falling off.

preparation example Construction

[0027] On the one hand, the present invention provides a kind of preparation method of airgel composite material, it comprises the following steps:

[0028] After mixing the fibers and silica sol in a mold and pressing them into shape, vacuumize to remove the air bubbles in the silica sol to prepare fiber-reinforced silica gel;

[0029] After the silica gel is supercritically dried, a film-forming polymer is used to coat the surface of the silica gel to prepare an airgel composite material.

[0030] Airgel materials have lower densities, thus resulting in lower solid-state thermal conductivity of airgel composites. At the same time, airgel has a relatively developed network structure and small pore size, which can more effectively restrict the movement of gas molecules, further reduce the gaseous thermal conductivity, and achieve efficient thermal insulation for reactor pressure vessels. The introduction of fibers, mold pressing and vacuuming can all improve the mechanical st...

Embodiment 1

[0048] 1) Preparation of silica gel

[0049] At room temperature, take tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), ethanol and ethylene glycol at a volume ratio of 3:11:1, stir at 300 rpm for 20 min, and then add 0.1 mol / L HNO 3 Adjust the pH of the mixture to 1 with aqueous solution. And the mixed solution was left to stand for 60 minutes to completely hydrolyze the tetraethyl orthosilicate. Then add 0.6mol / L ammonia water to adjust the pH value of the mixed solution to 4, and stir at 300rpm for 60min to form 100g of silica sol;

[0050] 2) Take 200g of ceramic fibers and put them into a mold, compress the ceramic fibers into the shape of the outer surface of the container under a pressure of 8 MPa, then inject the silica sol prepared in step 1) into the mold, and mix it with the ceramic fibers. Then vacuumize the silica sol in a vacuum furnace to a vacuum degree of -75KPa, remove the air bubbles therein, and prepare fiber-reinforced silica gel;

[0051] 3) Place the fiber-reinforced...

[0053] The preparation method of this example is basically the same as that of Example 1, except that the fiber used is yttrium-stabilized nano-zirconia fiber. Specific steps are as follows:

[0054] 1) Preparation of silica gel

[0055] At room temperature, take tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), ethanol and ethylene glycol at a volume ratio of 3:11:1, stir at 300 rpm for 20 min, and then add 0.1 mol / L HNO 3 Adjust the pH of the mixture to 1 with aqueous solution. And the mixed solution was left to stand for 60 minutes to completely hydrolyze the tetraethyl orthosilicate. Then add 0.6mol / L ammonia water to adjust the pH value of the mixed solution to 4, and stir at 300rpm for 60min to form 100g of silica sol;

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of aerogel, in particular to an aerogel composite material as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method of the aerogel composite material comprises the following steps: placing fibers and silica sol in a mold, conducting mixing, carrying out compression molding, conducting vacuumizing to remove bubbles in the silica sol, carrying out supercritical drying on the silica gel, and coating the surface of the silica gel with a film-forming polymer to prepare the aerogel composite material. The aerogel and the fiber are compounded, so that the mechanical property of the aerogel is improved, and the aerogel has relatively high mechanical strength. The invention further provides the aerogel composite material prepared by the method and application of the aerogel composite material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of airgel, in particular to an airgel composite material and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] A reactor vessel usually refers to a closed container that houses a nuclear reactor and withstands its enormous operating pressure. The current reactor vessel has the problems of poor insulation performance and rapid heat loss. At present, there are also some researches on improving its thermal insulation, such as wrapping an array of laminated corrugated metal reflective foils in the thermal insulation shell for thermal insulation. However, the cavity formed by the stack of raised ribs of the metal reflective foil is relatively large, and the size is difficult to be lower than the mean free path of air molecules, and the inhibition effect on gas heat conduction is limited. Moreover, the metal reflective foil needs to be pressed and formed with a mold to make it have a specific...
