TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thermal protective clothing insulation materials, in particular to a porous thermal insulation material for thermal protective clothing and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Thermal protective clothing is a special clothing for protecting workers in high-temperature environments, which has flame resistance, liquid repellency, no molten droplets during combustion, thermal insulation and high-temperature integrity, and includes four layers of composite structure, namely, an outer layer, a waterproof and breathable layer, a thermal insulation layer and a comfortable layer. The flame-resistant layer is used to block external high-temperature flames, the waterproof and breathable layer is used to prevent the entry of external moisture, the thermal insulation layer is the main thermal barrier to isolate external high heat, and the inner comfortable layer is close to the human skin. The thermal protective clothing with four-layer structure has good thermal protective performance.
[0003] The thermal insulation material required for the thermal insulation layer is the key layer for the thermal protective performance of the thermal protective clothing, and has good mechanical properties, thermal insulation properties and flexibility. The flexible polytetrafluoroethylene and the thermal insulation material are fused at high temperature to form a lightweight thermal insulation material with stable and firm connection.

[0007] In the above reaction process, tannic acid contains a large number of phenolic hydroxyl groups, has good adhesion performance, and can adhere to the surface of glass fiber, providing a large number of polar functional groups for glass fiber, to obtain tannic acid modified glass fiber. Cyclohexane as an organic phase, ammonia, deionized water as an aqueous phase, polyoxaethylene nonyl phenyl ether as a surfactant, the hydrophilic group can gather to form a microemulsion, and formaldehyde and resorcinol react in the microemulsion core to form phenolic resin, and then form spherical phenolic resin powder; Further, spherical phenolic resin powder and tannic acid modified glass fiber are mixed in ethanol solvent, tannic acid modified glass fiber contains a large number of polar functional groups, which can combine with spherical phenolic resin powder through hydrogen bond, so that spherical phenolic resin powder is deposited on the surface of tannic acid modified glass fiber, and after high temperature sintering, spherical phenolic resin powder is decomposed to form small size porous carbon nanospheres, realizing the synthesis of small size porous carbon nanospheres on the surface of glass fiber, to obtain modified glass fiber.
[0008] Subsequently in the A3 reaction process, the silicon hydroxyl generated by the hydrolysis of methyltrimethoxysilane can be combined with the hydroxyl on the surface of silica aerogel particles and modified glass fiber through chemical bond, forming an interlaced network porous structure, so that the silica aerogel particles are embedded in the interlaced network porous structure, and the nanocellulose also participates in the reaction due to its large number of hydroxyl groups, forming a three-dimensional network structure, as a composite thermal insulation filler.

[0013] Further, in step S1, the stirring rate is 400-450 r / min, and the stirring time is 30-35 min.
[0014] Further, in step S1, the mass ratio of polytetrafluoroethylene to deionized water is (7-9):(36-40).
[0015] Furthermore, in step S2, the freeze-drying temperature is -55℃ and the freeze-drying time is 40-48h.
[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, the heat treatment is carried out in a muffle furnace at a temperature of 380-400°C for a duration of 25-30 minutes.

[0042] Comparative Example 1 showed that replacing the tannic acid-modified glass fiber with a composite thermal insulation filler prepared from glass fiber and adding it to a porous thermal insulation material resulted in a decrease in its thermal insulation performance. This demonstrates that modifying glass fiber with tannic acid provides a large number of polar functional groups to the glass fiber, which is beneficial for the synthesis of porous carbon nanospheres on the surface of the glass fiber, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance. Furthermore, the glass fiber acts as a carrier for the porous carbon nanospheres, preventing them from agglomerating in the porous thermal insulation material and affecting its thermal insulation performance. In addition, the porous carbon nanospheres have a three-dimensional nano-network structure, which can absorb and weaken the energy generated by external stress, improve the mechanical strength of the porous thermal insulation material, and prevent the breakage of nano-silica aerogel.
[0043] Comparative Example 2 showed that when the modified glass fiber was replaced with tannic acid-modified glass fiber, the composite thermal insulation filler was added to the porous thermal insulation material, and its thermal insulation performance decreased. This proves that the synthesis of small-sized porous carbon nanospheres on the surface of glass fiber has the following advantages: Firstly, the synthesized porous carbon nanospheres have a smaller porous structure and better thermal insulation performance. Secondly, the porous carbon nanospheres have a three-dimensional nano-network structure, which can absorb and reduce the energy generated by external stress, improve the mechanical strength of the porous thermal insulation material, and prevent the nano-silica aerogel from breaking.
[0044] Comparative Example 3 showed that when methyltrimethoxysilane was replaced by modified glass fiber with an equal mass of composite thermal insulation filler and added to porous thermal insulation material, its thermal insulation performance decreased. This demonstrates that methyltrimethoxysilane can form a cross-linked network porous structure with silica aerogel particles and modified glass fiber, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of porous thermal insulation material. Furthermore, the cross-linked network structure can improve the mechanical strength of porous thermal insulation material.
[0045] Comparative Example 4 showed that when a composite thermal insulation filler prepared by replacing nanocellulose with modified glass fiber was added to a porous thermal insulation material, its thermal insulation performance decreased. This demonstrates that nanocellulose, containing a large number of hydroxyl groups, can also participate in the reaction, forming a three-dimensional network structure that significantly enhances thermal insulation performance. Furthermore, nanocellulose and the nanocellulose contained in the composite thermal insulation filler are bonded through hydrogen bonds, allowing the composite thermal insulation filler to be uniformly embedded in the porous thermal insulation material. This results in a porous thermal insulation material with a porous internal structure and a porous gel external structure, significantly enhancing the thermal insulation and mechanical properties of the porous thermal insulation material.
