Description

Flame-retardant nano-cellulose composite aerogel with oriented structure and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of heat insulation materials, in particular to a flame-retardant nano cellulose composite aerogel with an oriented structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Aerogel, one of the lightest solid materials in the world, is known as "the peculiar material of the 21 st century" because of its porous structure, and has excellent characteristics of high porosity, large specific surface area, low bulk density, and the like. The porous structure of the aerogel enables the aerogel to have extremely low heat conductivity coefficient, so the aerogel has huge application prospect in the field of heat preservation and insulation.
Aerogels are of many types and can be classified into oxide aerogels, carbide aerogels, and polymer-based organic aerogels. The traditional carbide aerogel is generally made of non-renewable and non-biodegradable materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, but the aerogel made of natural renewable biomass resources has obvious advantages in consideration of the requirements of environment, green and sustainable development. With the increasing shortage of resources, cellulose has a great application prospect as a renewable resource widely distributed in plants, and the renewable environment-friendly material is widely applied to the fields of paper making, biomedicine, supercapacitors, adsorption and the like due to biodegradability, nontoxicity and biocompatibility. The cellulose aerogel prepared by using cellulose has the characteristics of high porosity, extremely low density, low heat conductivity coefficient and the like, and the mechanical property of the cellulose aerogel is obviously superior to that of inorganic aerogel due to a special cross-linking structure formed by the action of hydrogen bonds among high molecular chains. Therefore, the cellulose aerogel is suitable for being applied to the field of heat preservation and heat insulation.
As can be seen from the literature, cellulose aerogels have been studied extensively. Cyrielle et al prepared nanocellulose from pectin and dried with supercritical carbon dioxide to prepare a Biomass cellulose Aerogel material (Rudaz C, Courson R, Bonnet L, et al. Aeronectin: full Biomass-Based mechanical Strong and Thermal Superinsulating Aerogel [ J ]. Biomacromolecules 2014,15(6): 2188.). However, pure cellulose aerogels are extremely flammable due to the inherent flammability of cellulose, greatly limiting their widespread use in the field of thermal insulation. In order to improve the flame retardancy of cellulose aerogel, some researches have added inorganic materials to cellulose aerogel systems. Chinese patent publication No. CN 111440353a discloses a method for preparing a hydrophobic flame-retardant cellulose aerogel, which mainly improves flame retardancy by adding boron nitride, montmorillonite, and synergistic effect of organosilane and fluoride. However, the thermal conductivity of the aerogel prepared by the method is greatly improved, resulting in rapid reduction of thermal insulation performance. Therefore, the preparation of the cellulose aerogel which is safe, environment-friendly, heat-insulating and flame-retardant is very important.
