Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of high-temperature thermal insulation materials, specifically relating to a composite thermal insulation material suitable for high-temperature environments of 400℃ and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Thermal insulation material is a material that can impede the transfer of heat; it is also known as thermal insulation material. Traditional thermal insulation materials include fiberglass, asbestos, rock wool, and silicates, while newer thermal insulation materials include aerogel felt and vacuum panels. However, existing thermal insulation materials have the following drawbacks: (1) The thermal conductivity of traditional ceramic fiber materials increases sharply at temperatures above 300℃; (2) Although traditional aerogel materials have ultra-low thermal conductivity (0.02W / m·K), infrared radiation heat transfer increases significantly at >300℃, resulting in a significant increase in thermal conductivity. They also have poor mechanical strength and are prone to pulverization at high temperatures. (3) Mica and fiberglass composite materials require a thickness of ≥6mm to achieve similar heat insulation effects, but they lack flexibility and lightweight. (4) Organic-inorganic composite layers are prone to delamination, and ultralight materials (density < 0.1 g / cm³) have low mechanical strength. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite thermal insulation material suitable for high-temperature environments of 400℃ and its preparation method, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0004] This invention is mainly achieved through the following technical solutions: A composite thermal insulation material suitable for high-temperature environments of 400℃ includes a structural reinforcement layer, a core thermal insulation layer, and a high-temperature protection layer arranged sequentially from the inside out. The structural reinforcement layer is glass fiber reinforced mica paper; the core thermal insulation layer is an aerogel core layer, which is prepared by alumina nanowires and chromium oxide powder, and the mass ratio of alumina nanowires to chromium oxide powder is 85:2.5; the high-temperature protection layer is an aluminized polyester film.
[0005] To better realize the present invention, the wave-transparent radiation-resistant agent is further described as chromium oxide and / or beryllium oxide.
[0006] To better realize the present invention, the thicknesses of the structural reinforcement layer, the core heat insulation layer and the high temperature protection layer are further 0.05 mm, 2.0 ± 0.2 mm and 0.1 mm, respectively.
[0007] This invention is mainly achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for preparing a composite thermal insulation material suitable for a 400℃ high-temperature environment, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Prepare the aerogel core layer; Step S11: Preparation of alumina nanowires: Nanoscale alumina powder and a HCl-H2SO4 mixture with a volume ratio of 1:1 are hydrothermally reacted at 200℃ for 5 hours to generate alumina nanowire clusters with a diameter of 30nm and a length of 400μm~500μm. Step S12: Doping with radiation agent: The alumina nanowires prepared in step S11 are mixed with chromium oxide powder in a two-dimensional kneader for 30 minutes, and then molded. Step S13: Hydrophobic reinforcement and drying: The material prepared in step S12 is immersed in a mixture of methyltrimethoxysilane and ammonium fluoride with a mass ratio of 100:15 while being magnetically stirred. Then, a gradient solvent replacement (ethanol-petroleum ether) is performed, and finally, subcritical drying is carried out. Step S2: Multilayer composite: The aerogel core layer, the aluminized polyester film and the glass fiber mica layer are hot-pressed together.
[0008] To better realize the present invention, in step S11, the alumina powder has a particle size of 20nm, and 85g of nanowires are mixed with 2.5g of chromium oxide (1250 mesh) and 10g of fumed silica in a kneader.
[0009] To better realize the present invention, in step S11, the mixing rate of the bidirectional kneader is 50 r / min; during the molding process, it is first pre-pressed at 0.5 MPa and then shaped at 2 MPa.
[0010] To better realize the present invention, in step S13, the magnetic stirring speed is 200 r / min; finally, subcritical drying is carried out at 80°C.
[0011] To better realize the present invention, in step S2, the temperature of hot pressing is 90°C, the pressure is 10MPa, and the duration is 15min.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention breaks through the high-temperature insulation bottleneck of traditional materials by using a nanowire skeleton + radiation-resistant agent + multi-layer reflection design. It solves the contradiction that a single material in the existing technology cannot simultaneously achieve high-temperature stability and ultra-low thermal conductivity, and the thickness is reduced by more than 60%. It can be applied to the fields of aerospace, new energy battery thermal protection and industrial pipeline thermal insulation. It is particularly suitable for the fields of new energy vehicle battery thermal protection, aviation and aerospace engine compartment thermal insulation, etc., and has good practicality.
