The flexible and superhydrophobic properties of silica aerogels are extremely important material for thermal insulation and oil spill cleanup applications for their long-term use. Flexible silica aerogels were synthesized by using a two-step sol-gel process with precursors, methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) followed by supercritical drying. Silica aerogels were prepared at different molar ratio of methanol to MTMS (M). It was observed that the silica aerogels prepared at M=28 were monolithic but inelastic in nature, however, for M=35, the obtained aerogels were monolithic, elastic in nature with less shrinkage. The microstructural studies were carried out using scanning electron microscopy and surface area measurements. The hydrophobicity was confirmed by Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy and water contact angle measurements. The detailed insight mechanism for flexible nature of silica aerogels and hydrophobic behavior were studied.

silica의 precursor로 TMOS를 사용하여 autoclave 내에서 supersritical drying으로 투명한 TiO2-SiO2 이성분계 aerogle을 얻을 수 있었다. 반응성이 뛰어난 titanium alkoxide의 중축합반응을 억제할 수 있는 강한 산성 영역에서 투명한 Aerogel을 얻을 수 있었으며, 물을 직접 첨가하지 않고 silicon alkoxide의 축합반응의 부산물인 물을 이용하여 titanium alkoxide의 반응성을 제어했을 때 투명성이 더욱 증진되었다.

A silica aerogel sheet with a very low thermal conductivity is used to suppress the temperature increase of the Cu coil in an induction cooker by reducing the heat flow from the heat source (cooking pot). It is found that the temperature of the Cu coil is reduced significantly by the insertion of an insulation sheet between the heat source and the Cu coil, demonstrating the effectiveness of the insulation sheet in the suppression of the heat flow between the cooking pot and the coil. Furthermore, the temperature of the cooking pot increases more rapidly with the use of the insulation sheet, allowing for an increased efficiency of the induction cooker.

Silica Aerogels with the density and porosity of 0.1g/cm3 and 96% were synthesized by two different supercri-tical drying processes (i.e additional solvent and intial pressure methods) Isoptopanol was chosen as sol-gel and supercritical drying solvents in order to synthesize aerogels at the lower temperature and pressure because the critical values of isopropanol are lower than those of methanol and ethanol commonly used. The P-V-T relationship of isopropanol was experimentally described for optimizing supercritical drying conditions such as the amount of extra solvent and supercritical drying temperature and pressure. In the addional solvent method monolithic and transparent aerogels were obtained by supercritical drying at 25$0^{\circ}C$ and 900 psing after 40% of the reactor volume was filled with isopropanol. Crack-free aerogels were synthesized at 25$0^{\circ}C$ and 1100~1200 psig by the initial pressure method with an intial nitrogen gas pressure of 400 psig and the isopropanol amount of 5% of the reactor volume.

본 연구는 최근 신소재 단열재로 주목받고 있는 실리카 에어로겔을 이용하여 현재 사용되고 있는 다겹보온커튼의 단점을 보완하고 보온성을 유지 및 향상 시킬 수 있는 새로운 조합의 다겹보온커튼을 제작 하고, 보온 특성을 분석하고자 한다. 실험에 사용된 다겹보온커튼은 에어로겔이 함유된 부직포를 사용하여 총 6가지의 조합으로 제작하였으며 중량, 두께 및 온도변화에 따른 열유속을 측정하여 비교분석하였다. 실험결과 조합별 보온커튼의 열유속은 마트지+에어로겔 멜트블로운+발포 에어로겔 부직포+에어로겔 멜트블로운+마트지 조합이 가장 낮게 측정되었다. 열유속은 단위면적당 단위시간에 통과하는 열량을 뜻하며 수치가 높을수록 다겹보온커튼을 통과하는 열량이 많다는 것을 의미하여 보온성이 낮다고 판단할 수 있다. 조합형 보온커튼의 무게와 두께는 보온성과 상관이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 에어로겔 멜트블로운 부직포가 조합된 보온커튼이 같은 매수의 단열재가 조합된 보온커튼에 비해 보온성이 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 하지만 에어로겔 멜트블로운 부직포는 내광성과 내구성이 약하고, 까다로운 제작공정과 에어로겔이 비산하는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 비교적 제작공정이 단순하고 보온성이 우수한 중공사 부직포와 에어로겔 발포 부직포를 조합한 다겹보온커튼이 실제 농가에서 사용하기에 적합하다고 판단된다.

Ambient drying sol-gel processing was used for monolithic silica ambigels in the temperature range of $130-250^{\circ}C$. A new method of mesopore ambigels, which mean the aerogels prepared by ambient pressure drying process synthesis, is suggested at first. This method includes two important approaches. The first point is that $SiO_{2}$ surface modification of wet gel was performed by trimethylchlorosilane in n-butanol solution. This procedure is provided the silica gel mesopore structure formation. The second point is a creation of the ternary azeotropic mixture water/n-butanol/octane as porous liquid, which is effectively provided removing of water such a low temperature by 2 step drying condition under ambient pressure. The silica aerogels, which were prepared by ambient pressure drying from azeotropic mixture of water/n-butanol/octane, are transparent, crack-free and mesoporous (pore size ${\sim}$ 5.6 nm) with surface area of ${\sim}$ $923{\;}m^2/g$, bulk density of $0.4{\;}g/cm^3$ and porosity of 85 %.

Glass wool is an eco-friendly materials that is manufactured through a continuous process by processing waste glass. This materials is low cost compared with another materials and has excellent thermal conductivity. For this reason, glass wool is installed as insulation system for LNG carriers and as insulation of building wall as well as various industries. The mechanism of insulation of glass wool is the conduction of the wool itself and convection by space between fibers. Therefore, in order to develop the enhanced thermal conductivity of glass wool is necessary to reduce its own conduction or to insert additional material after manufacturing as well as prevent convection. In this respect, many researchers have been actively studying to decrease thermal conductivity of polyurethane foam using by inserted glass wool or change the chemical component of glass wool. However, many research are aiming reduction of glass wool itself. This study focus on post-processing and inserted different materials; silica-aerogel, kevlar fiber 1mm, 6mm and glass bubble. Experimental results show that the thermal conductivity almost decreases with the addiction of glass bubble and silica aerogel.

Since Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is normally carried at 1.1 bar pressure and at -163℃, special Cargo Containment System (CCS) are used. As LNG carrier is becoming larger, typical LNG insulation systems adopt a method to increase the thickness of insulation panel to reduce sloshing load and Boil-off Rate (BOR). However, this will decrease LNG cargo volume and increase insulation material costs. In this paper, silica aerogel, glass bubble were synthesized in polyurethane foam to increase volumetric efficiency by improving mechanical and thermal performance of insulation. In order to increase dispersibility of particles, ultrasonic dispersion was used. Dynamic impact test, quasi-static compression test at room temperature (20℃) and cryogenic temperature (-163℃) was evaluated. To evaluate the thermal performance, the thermal conductivity at room temperature (20℃) was measured. As a result, specimens without ultrasonic dispersion have a little effect on strength under the compressive load, although they show high mechanical performance under the impact load. In contrast, specimens with ultrasonic dispersion have significantly increased impact strength and compressive strength. Recently, as the density of Polyurethane foam (PUF) has been increasing, these results can be a method for improving the mechanical and thermal performance of insulation panel.

티타니아가 첨가된 불투명한 실리카 에어로겔의 물성 및 열처리에 따른 미세구조 변화가 연구되었다. 부분가수 분해된 TEOS-이소프로판을 용액에 titanium isopropoxide를 첨가한후 겔화시킨 습윤겔을 초임계건조(25$0^{\circ}C$, 1250 psig)하여 모노리스 타입 에어로겔을 합성하였으며, SiO2-10 mol% TiO2 에어로겔의 밀도와 기공율은 각각 0.23 g/㎤와 90% 이었다. 초임계건조시 티타늄의 함량이 증가함에 따라 수축율이 증가할 뿐만 아니라 티타니아는 anatase 상으로 상전이됨과 동시에 입자 응집에 의해 100~800nm 크기의 cluster로 에어로겔 내에 균일하게 분포되었다. 불투명한 에어로겔은 8$mu extrm{m}$ 이하의 적외 영역에서 순수 실리카 에어로겔에 비하여 매우 낮은 광투과율과 $600^{\circ}C$까지 높은 미세구조 안정성을 보여주었다.

산화물 첨가에 의한 불투명화 실리카 에어로겔이 졸-겔 초임게 건조법으로 제조 되었으며 그들의 기계적 강도 및 열전도도 특성이 연구되었다. SiO2-10 mol% TiO2와 SiO2-10 mol% Fe2O3 에어로겔의 압축강도는 순수 실리카 에어로겔의 강도(0.025 MPa)에 비해 훨씬 높은 0.11 MPa과 0.047 MPa 정도 이었으며 TiO2에 의한 불투명화 실리카 에어로겔의 열전도도는 $400^{\circ}C$에서 0.0205 W/m · K 정도로 매우 낮은 값이었다. 순수 실리카 에어로겔의 기계적 강도 증진 및 고온 열전도도 증가를 억제하기 위한 불투명화제로는 TiO2가 Fe2O3에 비해 훨씬 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
