摘要: 纤维素纳米纤维(CNF)泡沫材料因为其轻质、可生物降解、可再生性以及优良的隔热性能等特点,在保温隔热领域备受关注。但是CNF泡沫存在力学性能差、热稳定性差、易燃等缺点,在一定程度限制了其实际应用。本文通过将CNF与芳纶纳米纤维(ANF)进行复合,通过冰模板法和冷冻干燥技术制备了具有各向异性结构的CNF/ANF复合泡沫。探究了ANF添加量和各向异性结构的引入对复合泡沫微观结构、力学性能、热稳定性和隔热性能的影响。结果表明,当CNF和ANF的质量比为2∶1时,CNF/ANF复合泡沫具有超低的密度(12.25 mg/cm3),良好的力学强度(纵向压缩强度为74.56 kPa)和优异的隔热性能(25.2 mW/mk),此外,该复合泡沫还具有良好的热稳定性和自熄灭性能,这些特性赋予了其在保温隔热等领域更加广阔的应用前景。Abstract: Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) foam has gained attention in the field of thermal insulation due to its lightweight, biodegradable, renewable nature, and excellent insulation properties.. However, CNF foam suffers from drawbacks such as poor mechanical properties, flammability, and limited thermal stability, which restrict their practical applications. This study prepares anisotropic CNF/ANF composite foam by introducing aramid nanofibers (ANF) into nanocellulose fibers, using ice templating method combined with freeze-drying technique. The effects of ANF content and the introduction of anisotropic structure on the microstructure, mechanical properties, thermal stability, and thermal insulation performance of the composite foam were investigated. The results showed that,when the mass ratio of CNF to ANF is 2∶1, the CNF/ANF composite foam exhibits an ultra-low density (12.25 mg/cm3), good mechanical strength (axial compressive strength of 74.56 kPa), and excellent thermal insulation performance (25.2 mW/mk). Additionally, this composite foam also possesses good thermal stability and flame retardant properties, which endow it with broad prospects for applications in areas such as insulation and self-extinguishing property.
