Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to inorganic-organic hybrid aerogels and methods of making such aerogels.
- the inorganic-organic hybrid aerogels of the present 5 disclosure include branched telechelic (co)polymers with reactive end-groups.
- Aerogels are a unique class of ultra- low-density, highly porous materials. The high porosity, intrinsic pore structure, and low density make aerogels extremely valuable materials for a variety of applications including insulation. Low density aerogels based 10 upon silica are excellent insulators as the very small convoluted pores minimize conduction and convection. In addition, infrared radiation (IR) suppressing dopants may easily be dispersed throughout the aerogel matrix to reduce radiative heat transfer.
- IR infrared radiation
- Silica aerogels also have high visible light transmittance so they are also applicable for heat insulators for solar collector panels.
- the present disclosure provides methods of preparing hybrid 0 aerogels comprising forming an aerogel precursor from a sol comprising a solvent, a metal oxide precursor, and a branched telechelic copolymer; and drying the aerogel precursor to form the hybrid aerogel.
- the metal oxide precursor and the branched telechelic polymer are co-hydrolyzed and co-condensed.
- the solvent comprises at least one of water and an alkyl 5 alcohol.
- the aerogel precursor is solvent-exchanged with an alkyl alcohol to form an alcogel.
- the aerogel precursor or the alcogel is supercritically dried to form the hybrid aerogel.
- the metal oxide precursor comprises an organosilane, e.g., a tetraalkoxysilane.
- the metal oxide precursor comprises a pre- polymerized silicon alkoxide, optionally wherein the pre-polymerized silicon alkoxide comprises a polysilicate.
- the sol comprises at least 0.5% by weight of the branched telechelic polymer based on the total weight of the metal oxide precursor and the branched telechelic copolymer. In some embodiments, the sol comprises no greater than 25% by weight of the branched telechelic polymer based on the total weight of the metal oxide precursor and the branched telechelic copolymer. In some embodiments, the branched telechelic polymer comprises hydro lyzable functional groups. In some embodiments, the branched telechelic polymer is the polymerization product of a combination of monomers comprising one or more (meth)acrylate monomers, e.g., butyl acrylate. In some embodiments, the metal oxide of the aerogel precursor is covalently bonded to the branched telechelic polymer. In some embodiments, the sol comprises a hydrophobic surface modifying agent. In some embodiments, the sol comprises an acid.

- FIG. 2 is an SEM image of the inorganic/organic hybrid aerogel of Example 10 (5% BTP-A, 95% TEOS (w/w)).
- aerogels Due in part to their low density inorganic structure (often > 90% air), aerogels have certain mechanical limitations. For example, inorganic aerogels have a high stiffness and tend to be brittle. Previous attempts have been made to improve the mechanical properties of inorganic aerogels by introducing organic content via long and short chained linear and branched polymers and oligomers to form organic/inorganic hybrid aerogels. However these approaches have significant limitations such as insufficient or inefficient reinforcement, reinforcement at the cost of other desirable properties, laborious processes for making the reinforcing organics, and costly routes for commercial scale production.
- Telechelic polymers are defined as macromolecules that contain reactive end-groups, i.e., end-groups that react to give a bond with another molecule.
- Telechelic polymers may be, e.g., linear polymers having functional groups on both ends.
- Branched telechelic polymers are branched polymers with functional groups on a plurality of branch ends. Generally, branched polymers exhibit lower viscosities relative to linear polymers of analogous molecular weight, due to a decrease in chain entanglement.
- the addition of branched telechelic polymers results in toughening of the material and improved mechanical properties of hybrid aerogel, e.g., decreased brittleness and improved compressive modulus.
- a branched telechelic polymer introduces 'soft' domains into the morphology of the otherwise brittle inorganic aerogel. It is also believed that the polymer domains can act as a modifier of the impact strength by absorbing stresses generated in the network.

- a BTP may have a plurality of hydro lyzable terminal functional groups.
- an aerogel precursor may comprise a BTP having terminal functional groups; and an inorganic precursor having functional groups reactive with the terminal functional groups of the BTP.

- any known method of solvent exchange may be used with the methods of the present disclosure.

- United States Patent No. 5,830,387 (Yokogawa et al.) describes a process whereby a gel having the skeleton structure of (Si ⁇ 2)n was obtained by hydrolyzing and condensing an alkoxysilane. This gel was subsequently hydrophobized by soaking it in a solution of a hydrophobizing agent dissolved in solvent.
