Abstract
Mullite fiberboards have been extensively used in heat-insulating refractory materials. To further improve the thermal insulation properties and reduce the density, we fabricated mullite fiberboards by vacuum filtration using hollow mullite fibers based on a ceiba fiber template. The effects of sintering temperature and type and content of high-temperature adhesives on the density, compressive strength, thermal conductivity, microstructure, and volume stability of mullite fiberboards were investigated. The results showed that the obtained mullite fiberboards have ultralow density of 0.1–0.2 g/cm3, low thermal conductivity of 0.0988–0.1230 W/(m·K) (at 500 °C), and compressive strength of 0.08–0.12 MPa, and they exhibit good volume stability at 1300 °C.
