Exploring Mechanical Properties of SiO2 Elastic Micro-Nano Ceramic Fibres Aerogels

Abstract

With the development of hypersonic vehicles and the military, SiO2 elastic nano-fibre ceramic aerogel becomes a preferred and potential material due to its ultralight, thermal superinsulation, and superelasticity properties. Compared with traditional ceramic materials which are brittle and easily degraded, SiO2 elastic nano-fibre aerogel shows up with its outstanding characteristics under extreme conditions. Facing a major demand in the national strategy of thermal insulation materials, this study will keep an eye on these growing and famous novel materials. Summarizing current studies and research at home and abroad. And explaining the evolution from traditional SiO2 aerogels to elastic aerogels to new SiO2 nano-fibre aerogels with flexible elastic bonds. Finally, providing regulation factors that can be improved and employed in future experiments. Giving prospects and focus for future research.
