摘要

This study rapidly prepared inorganic fiber-reinforced organic silicon aerogels by screening four types of inorganic fibers and their concentrations. The results showed that optimal fiber dispersion was achieved at a 5% fiber content. By optimizing the sol pH and gelation time, the adverse effects of fiber sedimentation on performance were effectively mitigated. The glass fiber-reinforced aerogel exhibited the best performance, with a density of 48.3 kg/m3, compressive strength of 2.48 MPa, contact angle of 165°, and thermal conductivity of 0.0343 W/(m·K). The diameter, modulus, and dispersibility of the fibers were identified as key factors influencing aerogel performance. This study provides a new method for the rapid preparation of high-performance thermal insulation materials, addressing the limitations of traditional methods and laying the foundation for large-scale applications.
