Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the present invention will provide further details in order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like, are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying a relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless specifically defined otherwise.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and/or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
In the conventional technology, the aerogel sheet is generally prepared by prefabricating or pressing fibers into sheets such as needled felt, pressed felt, fiber board or pressed board, and then compositing the sheets with aerogel to form the aerogel sheet. For example, the glass fiber is needled into a felt, then the felt is compounded with aerogel slices, or the felt is compounded with aerogel after being sliced, the forming method needs a needled felt forming process to support, the density and the thickness of the felt are not easy to control, the thickness is generally thicker, the colloid wettability is poorer, and the content of the compounded aerogel is also not well controlled; for example, the glass fiber and the binder are mixed to form a pressed felt or a pressed plate, the forming process can be used for forming a sheet with a thin thickness, but the flatness is low, the content of the aerogel is influenced by the introduction of the binder to influence the heat insulation performance, and the porous structure of the aerogel is influenced by the decomposition of the binder; in addition, when the aerogel is compounded after the fiber is molded, a special die is needed to control the specification and keep the thickness, the die is needed to be customized in advance according to different thicknesses or specifications, the thickness of the sheet cannot be adjusted at any time, the process is complex and complicated, the repeated processing amount is large, and the processing cost is high.
Therefore, in the aerogel sheet prepared by the method, the aerogel sheet with a small thickness has lower flatness, while the aerogel sheet with a large thickness has poorer colloid wettability, so that the heat insulation performance of the aerogel sheet is adversely affected.
There has been reported a method for producing an aerogel sheet by a sheet-forming method, in which components such as fibers, aerogel powder, a binder, an auxiliary agent and the like are mixed to form a slurry, and then sheet-formed in a sheet-forming machine and dried to obtain the aerogel sheet. In the method, the thickness of the sheet can be controlled by controlling the feeding amount of the slurry, but the pore structure of the aerogel powder is easily damaged in the sheet making process; hydrophilic aerogel powders readily adsorb liquids in the slurry, resulting in a change in thermal conductivity; hydrophobic aerogel powder is difficult to mix with other components uniformly, so that the uniformity of the sheet after molding is poor; in addition, the aerogel powder and the fiber are physically mixed, the structure is loose, and the aerogel powder is easy to fall off, so that the heat insulation performance and the service life are not ideal.
Based on the above, the first aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing an aerogel sheet, so as to solve the problems of low flatness, poor colloid wettability of the aerogel sheet with high thickness and the like of the aerogel sheet prepared by the conventional method. The preparation method comprises the following steps:
providing a mixed slurry comprising a sol and fibers;
forming the mixed slurry sheet to obtain a preformed sheet;
carrying out gelation reaction on the preformed sheet to obtain a wet gel sheet;
and standing and aging the wet gel sheet, and performing supercritical drying to obtain the aerogel sheet.
The invention directly copies and forms the mixed slurry containing sol and fiber, then makes the sol in the preformed sheet undergo the gelation reaction by an in-situ polymerization method, and carries out supercritical drying to obtain the integrally formed aerogel sheet with uniform structure. The sheet forming is a vacuum filtration forming technology, so that the aerogel sheet can be uniformly formed, has high flatness and good colloid wettability no matter under the condition of thinner thickness or thicker thickness, two steps of preparing the sheet and dipping the sheet into one step are combined, an additional custom die is not needed, the thickness of the sheet can be freely regulated and controlled, the process is simple, the operation is convenient, redundant mixed slurry can be recycled, and the processing cost is reduced. Meanwhile, the sol distribution condition of the sheet can be observed and checked in real time in the sheet making process, and the sheet can be complemented at any time, so that the aerogel sheet has good forming performance and high yield.
In some embodiments, the mixed pulp sheet forming comprises the steps of: homogenizing the mixed slurry for 1-15 min, and carrying out vacuum suction filtration for 0.5-5 min for sheet making.
The components such as sol and fiber are fully and uniformly homogenized before sheet forming, which is beneficial to improving the forming performance of aerogel sheets. According to the types and the contents of different components in the mixed slurry, proper homogenization time and vacuum filtration time are selected, so that aerogel sheets with different thicknesses have good uniformity, flatness and colloid wettability.
Preferably, the mixed pulp sheet forming comprises the following steps: and (3) placing the mixed slurry into a constant-temperature slurry box for homogenizing for 1-15 min, placing the mixed slurry into a slurry storage device of a sheet making device, and carrying out vacuum suction filtration for 0.5-5 min for sheet making.

After vacuumizing, the vacuum condition is kept for continuous heating, so that the gelation degree of the sheet material can be further improved.

In some embodiments, the wet gel sheet further comprises the step of, prior to the aging by standing: the wet gel sheet is subjected to hydrophobic modification by placing it in organosilane steam.
The aerogel sheet generally retains hydrophilic groups such as unreacted hydroxyl groups, and is liable to adsorb moisture, so that the thermal conductivity of the aerogel sheet is increased, and the pore structure thereof may be destroyed. The organic silane is utilized for hydrophobic modification, so that the hydroxyl content of the aerogel sheet can be reduced, and water vapor is prevented from entering the pores of the aerogel sheet, thereby improving the heat insulation performance and the service life of the aerogel sheet.
The vacuum pumping and heating treatment are carried out in the gelation reaction, so that the speed of vaporizing the organosilane reagent into the organosilane steam and the reaction rate of the organosilane steam and the wet gel sheet can be increased, the tedious operation of opening the container and adding the organosilane reagent for long-time dipping is avoided, and the method has the characteristics of high efficiency and convenience.

3) The diameter of the fiber is 0.1-30 mu m;
4) The volume ratio of the sol to the fiber is (1-30): (1-20).

(1) SiO is made of 2 After uniformly mixing aerogel powder and glass fiber with the diameter of 12 mu m, sequentially adding a binder, titanium dioxide and an inorganic flame retardant, and continuously uniformly mixing to obtain mixed slurry; wherein SiO is 2 The volume ratio of the aerogel powder to the glass fiber is 1:1.

Test case
According to the regulations of GB/T34336-2017 nano-porous aerogel composite heat insulation products, the surface of the aerogel sheet should be flat and no flaws, stains and damages which prevent the use are required; when the waterproof and dampproof requirements exist, the hydrophobicity should be not less than 98.0%; the bending failure load should be not less than 60N. The aerogel sheets described above were tested for appearance, thickness, hydrophobicity, thermal conductivity and flexural failure load according to GB/T34336-2017 nanoporous aerogel composite insulation product, and the results are shown in Table 1.
As can be seen from Table 1, the aerogel sheets of examples 1 to 5 were good in surface flatness, free of cracks and substantially free of residual raised particles, and the aerogel sheets prepared by the sheet forming method were characterized by uniform formation, high flatness and good colloid wettability, and were particularly suitable for preparing ultrathin sheets, ultra-thick sheets and sheets containing ultrafine fibers. The aerogel sheets of examples 1 to 5 had thermal conductivities in the range of 0.0142W/(m.K) to 0.0166W/(m.K) and were each satisfactory in terms of flexural failure load of 60N or more, indicating that the aerogel sheets produced by the sheet-forming method were high in heat insulating property and structural strength. In addition, the aerogel sheets of examples 3 to 5 were subjected to hydrophobic modification treatment, and the hydrophobic rates thereof were 99%, and were excellent in water resistance and moisture resistance.
The aerogel sheet of comparative example 1 had poor surface flatness, no cracks, some residual raised particles, and required additional cleaning; in the preparation of aerogel sheets by the preforming method, a plurality of fiber sheets are generally stacked and then immersed in sol, so that incomplete impregnation is easy to occur, and partial areas of the finally formed sheets are softer; the aerogel sheets of comparative example 1 had higher thermal conductivities than the aerogel sheets of examples 1-5. Accordingly, the aerogel sheets prepared by the conventional preforming method were inferior to those of examples 1 to 5 in terms of molding uniformity, surface smoothness, colloid wettability and heat insulation properties.
The aerogel sheet of comparative example 2 had good surface flatness, but had cracks and grains that affected its normal use; the aerogel sheets of comparative example 2 had a significantly higher thermal conductivity than the aerogel sheets of examples 1 to 5, increased by 73.6% compared to example 1, and had poor thermal insulation properties; after the bending fracture load test, the corners of the sheet are cracked and the surfaces have chipping cracks. This is because the aerogel powder is liable to be destroyed in the pore structure during the sheet forming process, and the undamaged pores are liable to adsorb the slurry of the sheet, and the formed aerogel sheet is relatively loose in structure, resulting in the aerogel sheet of comparative example 2 being relatively poor in both heat insulating property and structural strength.
