Abstract

Abstract: Silica aerogels have promising applications in thermal insulation, but their flammability and reaction mechanisms have rarely been investigated. The pyrolysis kinetics and thermodynamics of hydrophobic silica aerogels under N₂ environment were studied. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were obtained by three model-free methods. Based on the calculated kinetic parameters, the pyrolysis mechanism of silica aerogels was discussed by the master plots method. The results indicate that the reactions of the whole pyrolysis phase can be characterized by a random nuclear model. In addition, FTIR test results show that the volatile products of silica aerogel pyrolysis are mainly hydrocarbons generated by the decomposition of hydrophobic groups (methyl groups) on the surface. Finally, the effects of pyrolysis on the properties of silica aerogels Finally, the effects of pyrolysis on the properties of silica aerogels were investigated based on the analysis results of SEM, specific surface area, pore size distribution, X-ray diffraction, XPS and infrared spectroscopy.
