Description

Flame-retardant silica aerogel and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of silica aerogel, and particularly relates to flame-retardant silica aerogel, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in fireproof paint.
Background
SiO 2 aerogel is a high-dispersion solid material which is formed by mutually gathering nano-scale particles to form a nano-porous network structure and is filled with gaseous dispersion medium in pores, and has the characteristics of nano-porous structure, low density, low dielectric constant, low heat conductivity, high porosity, high specific surface area and the like, thus showing unique properties in mechanical, acoustic, thermal, optical and other aspects, and having wide and huge application value in various fields of aerospace, military, petroleum, chemical industry, mineral products, communication, medical, building materials, electronics, metallurgy and the like, and being called as a world-changing magic material.
At present, the preparation of the silica aerogel is mainly carried out by a chemical method, namely, in a specific solvent, under the combined action of water and a catalyst, a silicon source is hydrolyzed and polycondensed to form wet gel, and the wet gel is aged, modified and dried to obtain the silica aerogel. Therefore, the preparation process of the silicon dioxide aerogel is optimized from the aspects of a silicon source, a solvent, a catalyst, a modifier, a drying method and the like, and the low-cost rapid preparation of the aerogel material is a development trend for realizing the large-scale industrial production of the SiO 2 aerogel.
The SiO 2 aerogel fireproof paint takes SiO 2 aerogel as a functional filler, is uniformly dispersed in a stable system of the paint, and effectively plays a good heat insulation protection role by means of extremely low heat conductivity coefficient of the silica aerogel and the binding role of the pore diameter of the silica aerogel on air molecules, so that the fire resistance of the silica aerogel is improved, and the fireproof role is played. It is generally believed that SiO 2 aerogel itself is an inorganic filler that has certain flame retardant properties and thus contributes to the flame retardance of the coating. However, the preparation of silica aerogel at normal pressure and the relatively sufficient surface modification of silica are necessary conditions for preparing porous silica aerogel having excellent hydrophobicity and dispersibility. And a large amount of organic groups introduced by surface modification are heated and decomposed at high temperature to release a large amount of combustible gas, so that the combustion characteristics of the silica aerogel are changed to a certain extent. The oxygen index of the silica aerogel sold on the market is mostly below 25 through tests, and the silica aerogel belongs to the category of combustibles. Therefore, it is necessary to perform flame retardant modification on the silica aerogel prepared by the normal pressure method so as to improve the flame retardant property of the silica aerogel in the fireproof coating material.
