Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermal insulation materials, and specifically relates to a toughened composite aerogel felt and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aerogel is a continuous three-dimensional network structure formed by the aggregation of nanoparticles at the nanoscale. Due to its special nanoscale micropores and framework structure, the efficiency of its thermal conductivity, convective heat transfer, and radiative heat transfer are all effectively restricted. Therefore, aerogel has a very low thermal conductivity and is the solid material with the lowest thermal conductivity in the world at present, and is widely used in thermal insulation materials. However, aerogel is a hard material and cannot be applied to complex construction surfaces.

[0003] Combining aerogel with fibers, and preparing aerogel felt materials through processes such as impregnating sol, gel, solvent replacement, and supercritical drying has a certain flexibility and can meet most construction requirements; the preparation process of this kind of aerogel felt is complex, with a long production cycle and high cost, and cannot meet industrial production. The production process of coating and forming gradually replaces the original process in the commercial field. For example, Chinese Patent Application CN106757781B discloses a preparation method of an aerogel heat insulation felt, which makes aerogel into powder, disperses it in a solvent and then sprays it on a glass felt, and obtains a flexible aerogel felt through needle punching forming; however, the bonding strength between the aerogel microparticles and the felt substrate and between the aerogel microparticles in this kind of felt material is low, and problems such as peeling and cracking are likely to occur during use, resulting in a serious deterioration of the heat insulation performance. Therefore, the present invention aims to prepare a toughened composite aerogel felt by a coating method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a toughened composite aerogel felt and a preparation method thereof.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A toughened composite aerogel felt, which is composed of a fiberglass cloth and a heat insulation layer. The heat insulation layer includes the following raw materials by weight:

[0007] 80 - 100 parts of modified silicone resin, 25 - 40 parts of aerogel micropowder, 8 - 14 parts of titanium dioxide, 1.2 - 1.8 parts of wetting agent, 0.5 - 0.7 parts of leveling agent, and 30 - 40 parts of dilute acetic acid;

[0008] The modified silicone resin is prepared by the following method:

[0009] Step A1: Preheat and mix chloroacetic acid and tetrahydrofuran, add a small amount of triethylamine and mix, introduce dry nitrogen for protection, control the temperature at 65 - 75 °C, apply mechanical stirring at 120 - 240 rpm, intermittently add amino silicone oil for reflux reaction, control the total addition reaction time of amino silicone oil to be 5 - 7 h, after the reaction, remove tetrahydrofuran by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure, then add deionized water for washing, centrifuge to remove the water layer, and dry in vacuum to obtain the matrix resin;

[0010] Further, the amino silicone oil is selected as a small molecular weight and low viscosity silicone oil. In this case, the DY - N323 type amino silicone oil provided by Shandong Dayi Chemical Co., Ltd. is selected;

[0011] Further, the dosage ratio of amino silicone oil, chloroacetic acid, triethylamine and tetrahydrofuran is 100 g : 0.25 - 0.32 mol : 20 - 30 mL : 150 - 200 mL. The amino substitution reaction between chloroacetic acid and the amino group in the amino silicone oil forms a branched carboxyl modification. At the same time, the formed nitrogen - oxygen structure can form a stable chelating effect on metal particles, strengthening the mechanical properties of the matrix.

[0012] Step A2: Mix thionyl chloride and dioxane, add the matrix resin and mix, heat up to 60 - 70 °C and stir - react for 30 - 40 min, rotary evaporate under reduced pressure until no residual thionyl chloride precipitates, cool down to room temperature, add benzene and mix, apply mechanical stirring at 120 - 180 rpm, protect with nitrogen and slowly add 3 - (triethoxysilyl)propylurea, control the total addition reaction time to be 15 - 20 h, after the reaction, rotary evaporate under reduced pressure to remove low - boiling substances including dioxane to obtain the modified silicone resin.

[0013] Further, the dosage ratio of the matrix resin, 3 - (triethoxysilyl)propylurea, thionyl chloride, dioxane and benzene is 100 g : 0.18 - 0.22 mol : 0.3 - 0.4 mol : 200 - 260 mL : 150 - 200 mL. Thionyl chloride acyl - chlorinates the carboxyl group introduced in the matrix resin, and then reacts with 3 - (triethoxysilyl)propylurea to introduce an ethoxysilane structure modification, which can condense with both fiberglass cloth and aerogel, making the felt material have good toughness.

[0014] A preparation method of a toughened composite aerogel felt, comprising the following steps:

[0015] Step S1: Mix the modified silicone resin, wetting agent, leveling agent and dilute acetic acid, heat up to 35 - 45 °C, apply mechanical stirring at 360 - 480 rpm, stir and hydrolyze for 50 - 70 min to obtain a casting solution;

[0016] Step S2: Stir the casting solution at 50 - 70 rpm, uniformly add the mixture of aerogel micropowder and titanium dioxide, control the addition mixing time to be 20 - 30 min to obtain a composite slurry;

[0017] Step S3: Immerse the tightly woven fiberglass cloth in an alkaline ethanol solution, drain it, scrape and coat the composite slurry layer by layer on the surface, place it in an atmosphere oven, control the atmosphere in the oven to be nitrogen and ammonia, the temperature to be 80 °C, and bake for 5 h. The composite slurry dries to form a heat insulation layer, and a toughened composite aerogel felt is obtained.

[0018] Further, the mass fraction of dilute acetic acid is 3.5 - 4.5%.

[0019] Further, the volume concentration of ammonia gas in the atmosphere oven during the drying process of the composite slurry is not less than 40%.

[0020] Further, both the wetting agent and the leveling agent are organosilicon-based products.

[0021] Advantages of the present invention:

[0022] The present invention discloses an aerogel felt with a composite structure, which uses fiberglass cloth as the base, aerogel micropowder and titanium dioxide as the heat-resistant and heat-insulating materials, and uses a self-made modified organosilicon resin as the bonding material to combine the heat-resistant and heat-insulating materials with the base. Compared with the traditional sol-gel method for preparing aerogel felt materials, the finished product preparation process is simpler, the production cycle is shorter, and the production efficiency can be greatly improved;

[0023] The modified organosilicon resin disclosed in the present invention uses aminopolysiloxane with a small molecular weight and low viscosity as the main material. Through chloroacetic acid substitution reaction, branched carboxyl modification is formed, and then through thionyl chloride chlorination treatment, and then substituted with ureidopropyltriethoxysilane to form a modified structure of terminal triethoxysilane; the molecular main chain of the modified organosilicon resin is a silicon-oxygen chain, which has good heat resistance, can meet the requirement that the aerogel felt maintains a stable shape at high temperature, and has good toughness after drying and film-forming; the terminal triethoxysilane structure of the modified organosilicon resin molecule hydrolyzes during the forming process of the felt, and can condense with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the silica-based aerogel powder and fiberglass cloth, greatly improving the bonding strength between the aerogel powder and the fiberglass cloth, and it is not easy to break away and fail during use; the nitrogen-oxygen structure introduced during the chloroacetic acid substitution in the modified organosilicon resin molecule has a chelating effect on titanium dioxide, forms an anchoring effect on titanium dioxide, reduces the impact on the mechanical properties of the coating. At the same time, the modified organosilicon resin serves as a template to uniformly disperse titanium dioxide between the aerogel powder materials, and cooperates with the aerogel to play a role in hindering heat conduction and heat radiation, so as to have good heat insulation performance.
