Abstract: The new thermal insulation materials mainly achieve the thermal insulation effect by increasing the internal pores of the materials to accommodate more static air. Aerogel has the characteristics of high porosity, low thermal conductivity and low refractive index, and is widely used in the field of thermal insulation. Cellulose aerogels have the advantages of renewability, biocompatibility and biodegradability, and overcome the shortcomings of traditional inorganic gels, such as friability and difficulty in repeated use. However, the thermal stability of cellulose itself is poor, and cellulose aerogels cannot maintain stability in high temperature environment. Therefore, in order to improve its thermal stability, the cellulose is modified to make the aerogel prepared from the modified cellulose have good thermal insulation performance under high temperature environment. The strength of aerogel is generally low, so it is difficult to use it as an insulation material alone. In order to improve the low strength of the aerogel and give the fabric good thermal insulation performance, the modified cellulose aerogel is compounded with ordinary fabrics to obtain a cellulose aerogel composite fabric with good mechanical strength and thermal insulation performance.
The precursor solution was prepared with a certain proportion of zirconium oxychloride /tetraethyl silicate as the precursor and yttrium nitrate as the stabilizer. The cellulose microfibers (CMF) after pre-oxidation treatment are uniformly dispersed in the precursor solution to form a mixed solution. The CMF aerogel composite fabric modified by ZrO2 and SiO2 was prepared by casting the mixed solution on the fabric, adopting the sol gel method and freeze drying treatment. Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to analyze the degree of crosslinking of CMF, and thermal imaging was used to measure the thermal insulation effect of the aerogel composite fabric. The mechanical properties and wearability of the aerogel composite fabric were explored by measuring the breaking elongation, permeability and thickness of the fabric. The results show that the aerogel layer of the aerogel composite fabric is well bonded to the surface of the fabric; the CMF aerogel is successfully doped with Zr and Si; the aerogel composite fabric has good heat insulation performance on 37 ℃ and 100 ℃ hot plates; the air gel composite fabric can still maintain good heat insulation performance after washing and friction test.
In this paper, the modified CMF aerogel composite fabric is prepared by compounding the ordinary fabric with a new modified CMF aerogel thermal insulation material. The preparation process is simple and environmentally friendly. The aerogel composite fabric has excellent heat insulation performance and good wearability. The research results can lay a foundation for the application of cellulose aerogels in the field of heat insulation and warmth preservation.

摘要: 为制备一种隔热的功能纺织品,分别以涤棉混纺机织物、PP熔喷无纺布、PP纺粘无纺布为骨架材料,将经2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶氧化物(TEMPO)介导氧化后的纤维素微纤维与Zr4+、SiO2前体溶液的混合液浇筑到织物表面,经冷冻干燥后制备ZrO2和SiO2改性的隔热纤维素微纤维(CMF)气凝胶复合织物。通过傅立叶红外(FTIR)、X-射线衍射(XRD)、热成像仪、厚度仪、强力拉伸仪等对气凝胶复合织物进行表面形貌、化学组成、隔热性能及服用性能分析。结果表明:气凝胶复合织物具有较高孔隙率,且气凝胶层与织物表面结合良好;FTIR和XRD表明Zr和Si成功附着在织物表面构成耐高温层;随着气凝胶层厚度的增加,复合织物的隔热性能也有所提升。本文制备的气凝胶复合织物具备优良的隔热性能,且服用性能良好。
