The multi-walled carbon nanotubes are then placed in a 70°C water bath for heating and refluxing for 5 h, centrifugally washed to neutral, and dried. After acid treatment, the multi-walled carbon nanotubes have carboxyl and hydroxyl functional groups introduced onto the surface, making them more easily dispersed in water or organic solvents and enabling stronger chemical bonds or hydrogen bonds with polymers, ceramics, or metal oxides, reducing interface defects and improving the mechanical strength of the composite material.

[0074] (1) 2.0 g of multi-walled carbon nanotubes were added to 40 mL of a mixed acid solution and ultrasonically treated for 1 h. In the mixed acid solution, the volume ratio of 98% sulfuric acid and 68% nitric acid was 3:1. The multi-walled carbon nanotubes had a tube diameter of 15 nm and a length of 2 μm. The nanoscale tube diameter and micrometer-scale length provided excellent stress transfer capability, and the multi-walled carbon nanotubes could form a three-dimensional reinforcing skeleton in the aerogel network, significantly improving the tensile strength. The mixture was then placed in a water bath at 80°C and heated to reflux for 4 h. After centrifugal washing until neutral, drying was performed. After acid treatment, the multi-walled carbon nanotubes had carboxyl and hydroxyl functional groups introduced onto the surface, which made them more easily dispersed in water or organic solvents. The multi-walled carbon nanotubes could also form stronger chemical bonds or hydrogen bonds with polymers, ceramics, or metal oxides, reducing interface defects and improving the mechanical strength of the composite material. The multi-walled carbon nanotubes were pretreated to obtain the pretreated multi-walled carbon nanotubes;
[0075] (2) 40.0 g of tetraethyl orthosilicate, 12 mL of water, 10 mL of anhydrous ethanol, and 0.28 g of oxalic acid were stirred and mixed for 6 h to prepare a silica precursor sol solution for later use. 1.0 g of polyvinyl butyral was added to 10 mL of anhydrous ethanol and stirred and dissolved. The solution was then mixed with the silica precursor sol solution. The stirring speed was 200 rpm, and the stirring time was 3 h. A silica spinning sol was prepared for later use. 25.0 g of tetrabutyl titanate and 380 mL of glacial acetic acid were stirred for 3 h. The pretreated multi-walled carbon nanotubes prepared in step (1) were then added, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min to prepare a tetrabutyl titanate and multi-walled carbon nanotube dispersion solution for later use. The silica spinning sol and the tetrabutyl titanate and multi-walled carbon nanotube dispersion solution were then stirred and mixed for 4 h. The resulting composite spinning solution was loaded into a syringe. A 7-gauge needle was selected as the spinning needle tube. The electrostatic voltage was 25 kV. The distance between the needle and the receiver was 10 cm. The feed rate of the advancing pump was 0.7 mL / h. The rotation speed of the receiving drum was 30 rpm. The collected nanofiber membrane was placed in a crucible and calcined in a muffle furnace. The temperature was raised at a rate of 5°C / min, and the temperature was maintained at 900°C for 20 min. In the process, titanium dioxide was first generated in situ on the surface of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The silica sol then formed a three-dimensional network through a condensation reaction. The network was coated, and then continuous fibers were formed by electrospinning. High-temperature calcination optimized the pore size distribution of the fiber membrane and eliminated active groups such as surface hydroxyl groups, improving the high-temperature stability and chemical stability of the ceramic fiber. The Ti-O-C bond formed by the titanium dioxide was tightly anchored to the surface of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes, preventing the agglomeration of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes and enhancing the interface bonding between the multi-walled carbon nanotubes and the ceramic matrix. The titanium dioxide and the silica were connected by Ti-O-Si bonds, further fixing the titanium dioxide and the multi-walled carbon nanotubes and forming a porous core-shell structure. The multi-walled carbon nanotubes could effectively inhibit the brittle fracture of the ceramic fiber, improving the tensile strength and toughness. The hydrophobicity and high aspect ratio of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes could prolong the diffusion path of the corrosion medium, improving the chemical corrosion resistance. A composite ceramic fiber membrane was obtained.
[0076] (3) The composite ceramic fiber membrane of step (2) is dispersed in 200 mL of deionized water, ultrasonic treatment for 1 h, then poured into a mold, placed in a liquid nitrogen bath to freeze quickly to prevent the fibers from re-aggregating, then the frozen sample is placed in a freeze dryer and freeze-dried at -50°C for 24 h, and the composite ceramic fiber membrane prepared from silica, titanium dioxide and multi-walled carbon nanotubes is further formed into an aerogel. The nano-porous structure of the aerogel not only restricts the slippage of the molecular chains of the silicone rubber, improves the modulus and creep resistance, but also absorbs impact energy and hinders the propagation of micro-cracks. The network structure of the aerogel can hinder the penetration of corrosive media and delay the corrosion of the silicone rubber matrix and the interface. The insulating barrier effect of the titanium dioxide and silica ceramic fibers in the aerogel offsets the adverse effects of the increase in the interface area, blocks the formation of a continuous conductive network, and optimizes the insulation performance. The chemical stability of titanium dioxide and silica is good, and the multi-walled carbon nanotubes can extend the diffusion path of the corrosive medium, so they can effectively resist the corrosion of acid, alkali, organic solvents and other corrosive media. A titanium-silicon binary oxide composite carbon nanotube ceramic fiber aerogel is obtained.

A poly-pyrrole with a one-dimensional nanotube structure is prepared by a soft template method.

The poly-pyrrole nanotube has better compatibility with silicone rubber and more efficient stress transfer, and a poly-pyrrole nanotube is obtained.
