Abstract
Considering that the poor mechanical properties limit the application of SiO2 aerogels in fire insulation, polyurethane sponges, and mica were used to enhance the mechanical properties of SiO2 aerogels in this study. The effects of polyurethane sponges with different pore sizes and mica content on the thermal-mechanical properties of composite aerogels were investigated. The internal structure of the composite aerogels was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, the chemical structure and composition of the composite aerogels were characterized and analyzed. The results demonstrate that polyurethane sponges and mica can effectively enhance the mechanical properties of composite aerogels. However, the addition of mica increased the thermal conductivity. The experimental data will further expand the engineering application of SiO2 aerogels.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
