Aerogel has many reputations such as "blue smoke", "frozen smoke", "ultimate heat insulation material" and "super sponge", all of which reflect its excellent performance. As early as 1993, NASA has applied aerogels in various fields of aerospace.
(1) Military and aerospace fields
Compared with traditional thermal insulation materials, aerogel materials can achieve the same thermal insulation effect with lighter weight and smaller volume. This characteristic makes it have a decisive advantage in aerospace applications. At present, it is mainly used for thermal insulation of spacesuits and aircraft.
(2) The field of industrial and building thermal insulation
In electric power, petrochemical, chemical, metallurgical, building materials and other industrial fields, thermal equipment exists in large numbers. Among them, due to the special parts and environment of some equipment, limited by weight, volume or space, this efficient super thermal insulation material is needed;
(3) the field of solar water heaters
Efficient heat preservation of solar water heaters and other heat collection devices is a key factor to further improve the energy utilization and practicability of solar devices. Aerogel materials are used in collectors of water storage tanks, pipelines and water heaters, which have higher thermal efficiency and are more effective than existing solar collectors.
Aerogel materials have been used in a wide range of fields because of their excellent properties. Is there any defect in this material? Researchers at home and abroad have been studying how to better apply aerogels to the daily clothing field. Aerogels themselves are neither flexible nor fragile. At present, aerogels used in clothing field are made of aerogel particles or powder combined with inorganic fibers or organic fibers. This kind of aerogel composite has good warmth retention, but its weight is heavy and its flexibility is poor. Moreover, aerogel powder will gradually escape during use, and the experience effect is not ideal.
And this "century problem" was finally solved on 20 18. According to the data, the earliest aerogel composite material for textile in China was developed by Shu Bonan, which solved the inherent defects of aerogel materials, such as fragility and powder loss. Take the lead in developing the special aerogel composite thermal insulation material for textiles, keeping the lightest and most thermal insulation characteristics of aerogel, making it truly flexible and wear-resistant, and applying it to clothing together with Supai technology, truly making technology "serve" people.
Shu Bonami Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise integrating research and development, production and sales of aerogels and their composite materials. It is the earliest, largest and strongest manufacturing base of R&D and silica nanoporous super thermal insulation materials in China. Aerogels are widely used in all walks of life, from raw materials, powders, crystals, felt, to daily necessities, industrial products, textiles and other application forms.
