Abstract

Aerogels are highly porous, ultra-light (density around 0.1 g/cm3) nanostructured materials. One of their most extraordinary properties is thermal super-insulation, i.e. thermal conductivity below that of the air: 0.015 vs 0.025 W/(m.K) in room conditions. However, classical silica aerogels are extremely fragile and organic/synthetic (resorcinol-formaldehyde) aerogels may include toxic components, which hinders their wide application. Bio-aerogels are a new generation of aerogels made from biomass-based polymers, mainly polysaccharides. We prepared aerogels from cellulose (“aerocellulose” /1, 2/) and pectin (“aeropectin” /3/) via polymer dissolution, coagulation and drying with super-critical CO2. Their density varies from 0.05 to 0.2 g/cm3 and specific surface area is around 200-300 m2/g. Bio-aerogels are mechanically strong, with Young’s moduli from 1-2 to 20-30 MPa and plastic deformation up to 60-70% strain before the pore walls collapse. Aeropectin thermal conductivity turned to be around 0.015 – 0.020 W/(m.K) making it the first reported thermal super-insulating fully biomass-based aerogel. The thermal conductivity of aerocellulose is rather “high”, around 0.030-0.035 W/(m.K), due to the presence of large macropores. We demonstrate that by using polysaccharide functionalization and making polymer-silica aerogel hybrids it is possible to vary specific surface area (increase to 800-900 m2/g) and decrease aerogel thermal conductivity below that of the air.
生物基气凝胶:新一代热超绝缘材料
气凝胶是一种多孔、超轻(密度约为0.1 g/cm3)的纳米结构材料。它们最非凡的特性之一是超隔热,即导热系数低于空气:在室内条件下为0.015 vs 0.025 W/(m.K)。然而,传统的二氧化硅气凝胶非常脆弱,有机/合成(间苯二酚-甲醛)气凝胶可能含有有毒成分,这阻碍了它们的广泛应用。生物气凝胶是由生物基聚合物(主要是多糖)制成的新一代气凝胶。以纤维素(aerocellulose / 1,2 /)和果胶(aeropectin /3/)为原料,经聚合物溶解、混凝和超临界CO2干燥制备气凝胶。它们的密度从0.05到0.2 g/cm3不等,比表面积约为200-300 m2/g。生物气凝胶具有很强的机械强度,其杨氏模量为1-2 ~ 20-30 MPa,在孔壁崩溃前的塑性变形可达60-70%。气胶的导热系数约为0.015 - 0.020 W/(m.K),是第一个报道的热超绝缘全生物质气凝胶。由于存在大的大孔隙,航空纤维素的导热系数相当“高”,约为0.030-0.035 W/(m.K)。我们证明,通过使用多糖功能化和制造聚合物-二氧化硅气凝胶杂化,可以改变比表面积(增加到800-900 m2/g)并将气凝胶的导热系数降低到低于空气的导热系数。
