Abstract

The hydrophobic aerogel heating-insulating composite ceramic was fabricated in the way of constant pressure. The properties of the ceramic were attributed through FT-IR and energy spectrum. The microstructure and phase transformation of the insulation composites ceramic was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that after compositing with aerogel the coefficient of heat conductivity of the heat-insulating ceramic decreases forty-sixty percent and the compressive strength increases a hundred percent. There is little change to the tensile-strength. The holes of the ceramic are full of aero gel particles whose grain size is ten-twenty μm and the distribution of pore size is ten-seventy nm. After heating at 400°C for 12 minutes by quartz lamp on the surface of the ceramic which the thick of it is 8mm, the temperature of the other side increases 10°C .When the thick of the ceramic is 16mm, the temperature of the other side remains unchanged. The ceramic has excellent heating-insulting property.
