Multilevel SiO2/melamine foam composites towards exceptional thermal insulation, flame retardancy and elasticity
In the critical domain of thermal insulation and energy efficiency enhancement, aerogel composite materials have emerged as indispensable and innovative components. However, studies focusing on elastic and fire-retardant aerogel materials remain relatively limited. Herein, two novel aerogel composites multiscale reinforced by melamine foam with multilevel silica (MS/MF) and melamine foam composite with fumed silica (FS/MF) were developed. The synthesized FS/MF and MS/MF composites exhibit remarkably low thermal conductivities of 26 and 16 mW/(m·K), respectively, highlighting their exceptional thermal insulation properties. The incorporation of silica nanoparticles significantly enhances their compressive strength compared to pristine foam; FS/MF demonstrates a 21.5-fold increase (315 kPa), while MS/MF shows an even more pronounced 72.4-fold enhancement (1027 kPa). Due to the higher aggregation tendency of FS, it forms a denser and more effective char protection during combustion. As a result, as the FS content in MS/MF increases, the flame retardancy of MS/MF improves, with the LOI value of MS/MF-6 reaching 33 %, indicating excellent flame-retardant performance. These attributes are further complemented by the composites' outstanding hydrophobic behavior, high resilience, and ultra-light density of just 17 mg/cm3. The successful development of this multifunctional aerogel material holds promise for the design and production of advanced flame-retardant thermal insulation materials.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
