Abstract: Monolithic silica aerogels were prepared via supercritical fluid drying of methanol gels, which were obtained using the sol-gel co-precursor method with methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as precursors, methanol as solvent, oxalic acid and ammonia as catalysts. The microstructure, specific surface area, pore size distribution, bending and compressibility, and thermal stability of silica aerogels were studied by scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption/desorption tests, and thermogravimetric analysis. The properties of the silica aerogels, prepared with different mole ratios of MTMS/TEOS, varied obviously. The silica aerogel, prepared with mole ratio of MTMS/TEOS at 8/1, was a flexible material with density of 0.11 g·cm-3, porosity of 94.2%, specific surface area of 693.3 m2·g-1, maximal bending angle of 92°, maximal compression ratio of 41.2% and compression spring-back of 100%.

摘要: 以甲基三甲氧基硅烷(MTMS)和四乙氧基硅烷(TEOS)为混合硅源、甲醇为溶剂,通过酸碱两步催化溶胶-凝胶法制备湿凝胶,经超临界流体干燥得到块状二氧化硅气凝胶。用扫描电镜、氮气吸附脱附测试以及热重分析等手段对气凝胶的微观形貌、比表面积、孔径分布、弯曲性、压缩性、热稳定性等进行研究,结果表明:MTMS/TEOS比例会影响气凝胶的微观结构、弯曲和压缩性以及热稳定性,以MTMS/TEOS=8/1制得的气凝胶密度为0.11 g·cm-3、孔隙率为94.2%、比表面积为693.3 m2·g-1、最大弯曲角可达92°、最大压缩比例可达41.2%、压缩回弹率为100%。
