本発明によれば、熱伝導率が低い断熱材及びその製造方法を提供することができる。 ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, a heat insulating material with low heat conductivity and its manufacturing method can be provided.
本発明者らは、耐熱温度が１２００℃を超える、１３００℃、さらには１４００℃に達する断熱材の開発を鋭意研究した。
多孔性断熱材の伝熱（熱伝導率）は、気体分子の伝熱、固体同士の接触、輻射による伝導等により決まる。多孔性断熱材は固体量が少なく、気体分子の伝熱が大きな影響を及ぼす。気体分子の伝熱は気孔（細孔）径が平均自由行程以下の場合に抑制できる。高温域では、平均自由行程は大きくなる。従って、多孔性断熱材の場合、径が平均自由行程以下の気孔を多く含み、かつその気孔を高温で維持することが重要である。
本発明者らは、従来の多孔性断熱材では１２００℃を超える高温では、気孔がつぶれ断熱性が損なわれることを見い出した。
The present inventors diligently studied the development of a heat insulating material having a heat-resistant temperature exceeding 1200 ° C., reaching 1300 ° C., and further reaching 1400 ° C.
The heat transfer (thermal conductivity) of the porous heat insulating material is determined by heat transfer of gas molecules, contact between solids, conduction by radiation, and the like. The porous heat insulating material has a small amount of solids, and the heat transfer of gas molecules has a great influence. Heat transfer of gas molecules can be suppressed when the pore (pore) diameter is equal to or less than the mean free path. In the high temperature range, the mean free path becomes large. Therefore, in the case of a porous heat insulating material, it is important to contain many pores having a diameter equal to or less than the mean free path and to maintain the pores at a high temperature.
The present inventors have found that the conventional porous heat insulating material collapses the pores at a high temperature exceeding 1200 ° C. and impairs the heat insulating property.
本発明者らは、平均粒径がサブミクロンのアルミナを主成分とする金属酸化物粒子を用いた多孔性断熱材は、微細な気孔を多く含みかつ高温に曝された後でも十分な量の気孔が残ることを見い出した。更には、本発明者らは、アルミナ成分以外の成分又は粒子を添加することにより、アルミナ同士の焼結を抑制して、気孔が残ることを見い出した。 The inventors of the present invention have described that a porous heat insulating material using metal oxide particles mainly composed of alumina having an average particle size of submicron contains a large amount of fine pores and has a sufficient amount even after being exposed to a high temperature. I found that pores remained. Furthermore, the present inventors have found that pores remain by suppressing sintering between aluminas by adding components or particles other than the alumina component.
また、本発明者らは、１次粒子間で形成される細孔と、１次粒子が凝集した２次粒子間で形成される細孔を含む多孔性断熱材は、微細な気孔を多く含みかつ高温に曝された後でも焼結を抑制して十分な量の気孔が残ることを見い出した。
本発明はこれら知見により完成した。
In addition, the inventors of the present invention have a porous insulating material including pores formed between primary particles and pores formed between secondary particles in which the primary particles are aggregated, and includes many fine pores. It was also found that a sufficient amount of pores remained by suppressing sintering even after exposure to high temperatures.
The present invention has been completed based on these findings.
