摘要

Fluidic materials remain in their infancy. Here, we develop triple-state fluids (TSFs) by dispersing superhydrophobic aerogel microparticles into aqueous solutions, creating multiphase systems that integrate solid, liquid, and gaseous states with heterogeneous lyophobic characteristics and dual-mode viscoelasticity. TSFs exhibit low density (0.45 g·cm−3), low thermal conductivity (0.21 W · m−1 · K−1), and a shear viscoelasticity that shifts from the solid-like to the liquid-like in response to strain. They also demonstrate compressive viscoelasticity and energy dissipation in a single compression-rebound cycle, maintaining structural integrity even after 400 cycles. As a colloidal damper medium, TSFs (with a tan δ of 0.2–0.6 over 0–200 Hz) show vibration isolation performance comparable to that of commercial polyurethane foams. The shear viscoelasticity also allows TSFs to be processed into low-thermal-conductivity (0.0274 W · m−1 · K−1) coatings for thermal management. Overall, this work establishes a pathway toward space-adaptive, dual-purpose (mechanical and thermal) energy management materials.
