Abstract:SiO2 aerogel attracts much interest as thermal insulation material due to ultra-low density and excellent thermal performance at room temperature. However, the poor mechanical property and a mass of heat transfer by radiation in high temperature limit application of aerogels. Herein, a novel aerogel composites multiscale reinforced by glass fibers with SiC nanowhiskers (SiCnw) (AFW) was prepared. SiCnw were evenly distributed in glass fibers felts by freezing-drying method to form a uniform multiscale felts. T… Show more
