Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thermal insulation materials, and relates to a flame-retardant thermal insulation material containing foamed polymer composite aerogel, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the thermal insulation materials widely used in roofing projects include polystyrene foam (EPS, XPS), rigid polyurethane foam, and aerated concrete blocks. However, EPS boards have been exposed as a safety hazard in several high-rise building fire accidents due to their flammability, which limits their application in high-rise buildings.

[0003] Meanwhile, traditional insulation materials such as polystyrene foam not only create visual pollution after their service life ends, but also become "white pollution" due to their difficulty in natural degradation, posing a potential threat to the ecological environment. Against this backdrop, polylactic acid (PLA) has emerged as a novel biodegradable material. Derived from renewable plant resources such as corn starch, it possesses excellent biodegradability, biocompatibility, transparency, gloss, heat resistance, and tactile properties, while also exhibiting certain antibacterial, UV-resistant, and flame-retardant characteristics.

This material is highly compatible with the requirements of green buildings and has a positive impact on improving residents' living conditions and overall social energy efficiency.

[0056] 4. The foamed polymer composite aerogel prepared by this invention uses polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable material, as a raw material. Choosing PLA for the preparation of the composite aerogel not only improves the technical specifications of the thermal insulation material but also reflects an emphasis on environmental protection.

[0079] Comparative Example 1

[0080] The only difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that the raw materials prepared in this comparative example do not contain foamed polymer composite aerogel.

[0081] The mold dimensions in this comparative example are 10cm×10cm×4.5mm.

[0082] The preparation method of this comparative material includes the following steps: 20g of polyurethane emulsion is placed in a 200ml beaker and stirred at room temperature at 300rpm for 20min; then 0.6g of antimony trioxide is added and stirred at 300rpm for 30min; then 1g of BYK-420 and 0.6g of isophorone are added and stirred at 300rpm for 10min; then the material is poured into a mold and flattened, dried at room temperature for 5h, and then dried in a forced-air oven at 50℃ for 2h to obtain the comparative material.

[0083] Comparative Example 2

[0084] The only difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that this comparative example uses only expanded polylactic acid particles to prepare the material.

[0085] In this comparative example, the expanded polylactic acid has a particle size of 0.1–2 mm, a pore size of 2–50 nm, and a mold size of 10 cm × 10 cm × 4.5 mm.

[0086] The preparation method of this comparative material includes the following steps: 20g of polyurethane emulsion is placed in a 200ml beaker and stirred at room temperature at 300rpm for 20min; then 0.6g of antimony trioxide is added and stirred at 300rpm for 30min; then 10g of expanded polylactic acid granules are added and stirred at 300rpm for 40min; then 1g of BYK-420 and 0.6g of isophorone are added and stirred at 300rpm for 10min; then the material is poured into a mold and flattened, dried at room temperature for 5h, and then dried in a forced-air oven at 50℃ for 2h to obtain the wallpaper material.

[0087] The process for preparing the foamed polymer composite aerogel according to embodiments of the present invention, and the actual product image of the flame-retardant thermal insulation material are shown below. Figures 1-2 .

[0088] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the foamed polylactic acid in-situ composite aerogel of the present invention.

[0089] Figure 2 These are physical images of the flame-retardant thermal insulation materials of Examples 1-4 of the present invention.

[0090] The thermal insulation performance data of the materials in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were tested.

[0091] Specific thermal insulation performance test method: Place the material on a heating platform at a constant temperature of 80℃ and heat it at room temperature for 1 hour. Then use an infrared thermometer to test the temperature of the material surface. The specific test results are shown in Table 1.

[0092] Table 1. Thermal insulation performance data of wallpaper materials in the examples and comparative examples.

[0093]

[0094]

[0095] As shown in Table 1, the flame-retardant thermal insulation material with added foamed polymer composite aerogel in the examples has better thermal insulation performance and lower thermal conductivity.

[0096] As can be seen from Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the addition of expanded polylactic acid in Comparative Example 2 resulted in a lower thermal conductivity than that in Comparative Example 1. This is because expanded polylactic acid contains abundant air bubbles, and the gas in the air bubbles can increase the thermal resistance, thus reducing the thermal conductivity of the material.

[0097] As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, the expanded polylactic acid (PLA) contains an internal composite aerogel. The aerogel and PLA have a synergistic effect, which makes the thermal conductivity of Example 1 even lower than that of Comparative Example 2, resulting in excellent thermal insulation performance.

[0098] As can be seen from Examples 1-4, flame-retardant thermal insulation materials of different thicknesses were prepared. When the heating platform was kept at a constant temperature of 80°C, the thermal insulation effect gradually increased with the increase of thickness. When the material thickness was 9.5 mm, the temperature could be reduced to about 27°C, close to room temperature. As the temperature of the heating platform decreased, the surface temperature of the insulation material also decreased, eventually approaching room temperature. This reduces heat transfer with the air, achieving a thermal insulation effect. The flame-retardant effect of all samples was within V0.

[0099] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 5, the flame-retardant thermal insulation material prepared using the raw material parameters within the scope of protection of this invention still has excellent thermal insulation performance and good flame-retardant performance.

[0100] All aspects, embodiments, and features of this invention should be considered illustrative in all respects and not limiting of the invention; the scope of the invention is defined only by the claims. Other embodiments, modifications, and uses will become apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

[0101] In the preparation method of this invention, the order of the steps is not limited to the listed order. For those skilled in the art, variations in the order of the steps without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this invention. Furthermore, two or more steps or actions can be performed simultaneously.

[0102] Finally, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples of the invention and are not intended to limit the implementation of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them; it is neither necessary nor possible to exemplify all embodiments here. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of the invention still fall within the scope of protection of the invention, and interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of the invention.
