The invention relates to the technical field of
thermal insulation materials, in particular to an
aerogel felt and a preparation method thereof.The
aerogel felt is composed of a composite
fiber base material and multi-component
aerogel loaded in the composite
fiber base material, the composite
fiber base material comprises 65%-75% of alkali-free glass fibers, 15%-20% of modified
polyimide fibers, 4%-6% of nanoscale
carbon fibers and 8%-12% of
basalt fibers, and the multi-component aerogel is loaded in the composite fiber base material. According to the multi-component aerogel, 78%-82% of tetraethoxysilane, 12%-14% of
methyltrimethoxysilane, 4%-6% of dimethyldimethoxysilane and 2%-4% of vinyltrimethoxysilane serve as precursors, 1.5%-2.5% of aluminum
oxide, 0.8%-1.5% of
titanium oxide nanoparticles and 3%-4% of
zinc borate are added, a multi-stage reinforced structure is formed, the
mechanical property and flexibility of the aerogel felt are remarkably improved, the tensile strength reaches 400 kPa or above, and the tensile strength reaches 400 kPa or above. The flexibility is excellent.
