The invention discloses a
flame-retardant modified phenolic
aerogel composite material and a preparation method thereof, and the method comprises the following steps: mixing phenolic resin, an
alcohol pore-forming agent, a
flame retardant containing
phosphorus and
nitrogen elements, a curing agent and a surface modifier according to a
specific mass ratio to prepare a precursor solution; and dipping a
fiber fabric in the solution, and sequentially carrying out curing,
flame-retardant modified
solvent replacement, normal-pressure
drying and
vacuum drying to obtain the
composite material. The flame-retardant modified
solvent is replaced by a
boric acid solution or an
ammonium borate solution. Through an innovative step-by-step flame-retardant strategy, the
phosphorus-
nitrogen flame retardant is fixed on a gel network, and a flame-retardant layer is introduced on the pore surface through replacement of a
boron-containing solution, so that synergistic interaction of a flame-retardant function is realized. According to the method, the limit
oxygen index and the
thermal stability of the material are remarkably improved, meanwhile, the low-density and low-thermal-
conductivity nano-porous structure of the material is well maintained, expensive
supercritical drying is successfully replaced with normal-pressure
drying, and the production cost is greatly reduced.
