Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of thermal insulation decorative panels, specifically relating to a production method of a polymer aerogel thermal insulation aluminum-based decorative panel. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous expansion and deepening of research on aerogel materials, the structure and types of aerogels have been continuously improved. Based on their composition, aerogel materials can be broadly classified into: oxide aerogels, carbide aerogels, nitride aerogels, organic aerogels, and composite aerogels. For example, organic aerogels include formaldehyde, polyurethane, and polystyrene; carbon aerogels include carbon, carbon nanotubes, and graphene; semiconductor chalcogenide aerogels include CdS, PbTe, and CdSe; and natural gas aerogels include cellulose and other polysaccharide compounds and proteins. CN201610214851.5 discloses an aerogel thermal insulation and fireproof board with a decorative surface and its preparation method. Aerogel is a solid material with excellent thermal insulation properties, possessing a unique microstructure such as high specific surface area, nanoscale pores, and low density. Therefore, it exhibits excellent performance in thermal insulation, adsorption separation, biomedicine, photocatalysis, energy storage and conversion, and sound absorption and insulation. Aerogel is a nanomaterial with a unique structure and many special physical and chemical properties, showing promising applications in numerous fields and possessing great development potential and research value. The preparation of polymeric aerogels involves the use of many toxic solvents, and the resulting pollution makes large-scale production of polymeric organic aerogels difficult. However, the social and economic impact of aerogels has become increasingly apparent in recent years. Despite breakthroughs, aerogels suffer from low strength and fragility, and their processing, molding, and application still face challenges. Current research on aerogel materials mainly focuses on upgrading preparation processes, with insufficient in-depth research into the synthesis mechanisms. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the in-depth study of the formation mechanisms of aerogel materials at the molecular and atomic levels to further optimize and control their properties. However, aerogels have poor mechanical properties, making pure aerogel materials unsuitable for use as wall materials or for use alone on the inner and outer surfaces of walls. Furthermore, the high cost and difficult construction of aerogels currently limit their large-scale application. Research is needed to develop lower-cost precursors, combined with lower-cost drying processes, to further reduce the preparation cost of aerogel materials, promote large-scale production, and enable aerogel materials to be more widely used in more fields, creating greater social and economic value. Composite aerogels refer to aerogels that use other materials to combine with a certain aerogel matrix, overcoming some of the shortcomings of the aerogel matrix to obtain aerogels with enhanced performance and specific functions. Therefore, those skilled in the art urgently need to develop a production method for polymer aerogel thermal insulation aluminum-based decorative panels to overcome the deficiencies of existing technologies and thus meet current market demands and performance requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a polymer aerogel thermal insulation aluminum-based decorative panel.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A method for producing a polymer aerogel thermal insulation aluminum-based decorative panel includes the following steps: Step 1, preparation of pre-crosslinked epoxy resin gel: 100-110 parts of 0.2 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, 3-5 parts of diethylenetriamine, 45-53 parts of epoxy resin, and 0.2-0.3 parts of sodium stearate are added to a reactor equipped with a stirrer and a reflux condenser. The mixture is stirred at 500-600 rpm and reacted at 90-110℃ for 10-15 minutes, followed by filtration to obtain the pre-crosslinked epoxy resin gel; Step 2, emulsion gel-sol reaction: The crosslinking foaming agent, the pre-crosslinked epoxy resin gel, and the polyurethane emulsion are mixed in a certain proportion, and then 5-15% (by weight of epoxy resin) of carbon dioxide is added. The silica aerogel is stirred at 1000-1500 rpm for 5-10 minutes and then at 2000-3000 rpm for 10-15 minutes to obtain an emulsion gel material. The third step is the composite molding of the aluminum-based decorative panel: a flat vulcanizing machine is used. An aluminum substrate is placed on the lower heating plate of the machine, and a shim frame is placed on top. The emulsion gel material is injected into the shim frame, and then another aluminum substrate is covered on top of the emulsion foam material. The composite molding process conditions are: pressure 0.2-0.6 MPa, temperature 120-135℃, and time 5-10 minutes. After this, the aluminum plate is removed, trimmed, and naturally air-dried to a constant weight to obtain the polymer aerogel thermal insulation aluminum-based decorative panel.

[0006] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the crosslinking foaming agent, the pre-crosslinked epoxy resin gel, and the polyurethane emulsion is 1~2:11~13:15~17.

[0007] Furthermore, the crosslinking foaming agent is N-aminoethylpiperazine dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a solution with a mass fraction of 10-15%, which is placed in a reaction vessel. Then, carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the reaction vessel at a flow rate of 25-30 mL / min. After reacting for 10-15 min, the precipitate is obtained by filtration.

[0008] Furthermore, the polyurethane emulsion in the second step is a blocked anionic polyurethane emulsion with an NCO content of 3.5%~5% and a solid content of 15%~20%.

[0009] Furthermore, the silica aerogel in the second step is an amino-modified silica aerogel.

[0010] Furthermore, the aluminum substrate in the third step is one of the aluminum alloy plates selected from 1100, 3003, 3004, and 5052.

[0011] This invention discloses a method for producing polymer aerogel insulated aluminum-based decorative panels. The method involves cross-linking and foaming a pre-crosslinked epoxy resin gel, mixing it with a polyurethane emulsion to obtain an emulsion-like gel material, filling it with silica aerogel, and then molding it using an aluminum-based decorative panel. The aluminum panel is then trimmed and naturally air-dried to a constant weight to obtain the polymer aerogel insulated aluminum-based decorative panel. Using epoxy resin polymer cross-linked foamed gel as a framework, the mechanical properties of the prepared aerogel insulated aluminum-based decorative panel are improved, and the preparation cycle is relatively short. It maintains the integrity of the aerogel framework structure, overcomes the high brittleness of aerogel, and yields a decorative panel with low thermal conductivity and A2 fire resistance.
