On this basis, the materials were batched according to the mass fraction of SiO_2 aerogel powder to chopped alkali free glass fiber bundles of 90:10, and a certain amount of zinc oxide light-screening agent and phenolic resin binder were added. SiO_2 aerogel glass fiber composite specimens were prepared by direct adding chopped alkali free glass fiber bundles and pre-dispersed chopped alkali free glass fiber bundles, respectively. The cold crushing strength and the thermal conductivity at different surface temperatures(300, 400, 500 and 600 ℃, respectively)of the specimens were measured. The results show that:(1) the optimum dispersion process of chopped alkali-free glass fiber bundles is using ethanol as solvent and mechanical stirring for 30 min;(2) pre-dispersion of chopped alkali-free glass fiber bundles has little effect on the thermal conductivity of SiO_2 aerogel-glass fiber composites but can improve the cold crushing strength.展开更多

However, the achievement ofrobust mechanical properties and increased temperaturestability is still a major challenge for the majority of aerogelfibers. Herein, SiO_(2)-Kevlar hybrid aerogel fibers with bioniccore-shell structure were prepared by reaction spinning andweaved into fabric. Kevlar nanowires dispersion is pumpedinto a bath comprising a self-synthesized silica sol, whichfacilitates the hybridization of biphasic aerogels through thegel reaction. Precise control over the diameter (200-800 μm)and structure of the wet gel fibers was achieved throughmeticulous adjustment of the spinning solution composition and spinning parameters. Subsequent freeze-drying processfacilitates the formation of a core-shell hybrid structure, in which the SiO_(2) aerogel layer effectively encapsulate the Kevlaraerogel core fiber. Taking full advantage of the mechanical properties of the Kevlar core fiber, the resulting SiO_(2)-Kevlaraerogel fibers exhibit commendable weaving characteristics (51.8 MPa). Furthermore, SiO_(2)-Kevlar aerogel fabrics exhibitenhanced thermal insulation characteristics with a thermal conductivity of 0.037 W/(m·K). As a result of the presence ofexternal SiO_(2) aerogel layer, the overall temperature resistance performance of the SiO_(2)-Kevlar fabric reach up to 700 ℃.展开更多
