Infestation of Anthonomus grandis grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) contributes to forming shelter structures in cotton plants

AbstractHerbivorous arthropods can induce their host to form structures where they shelter during unfavourable periods. The boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), can spend the off‐season inside cotton plant structures, known as dry bolls, protected from pesticides, natural enemies and heat and desiccation on the soil surface, thereby increasing its survival and preserving its reproductive capacity. However, the relationship between the boll weevil and dry boll formation is not fully understood and requires further study. The formation and external and internal characteristics of dry bolls on cotton plants infested with different densities of boll weevils, and the emergence and survival of this insect from these structures, were evaluated. Compared with non‐infested control plants, plants infested with boll weevil formed almost twice as many dry bolls, which were 2.3 times heavier and with a diameter 1.7 times larger than those on non‐infested plants. Boll weevil infestation reduces the number of bolls and commercial mass of fibre + seeds, reducing productivity and increasing cotton harvest contaminants. However, dry bolls on non‐infested plants demonstrate that other factors are involved in their formation.

Study on Varied Bagasse Fiber and Epoxy Resin Compositions with Rice Bran Filler to Biocomposite Characteristics

<p>Natural fibers, with environmental, economic, and cost advantages, are highly sought-after for biocomposite materials. In the present study, the biocomposite samples of epoxy resin (as a matrix), bagasse fiber (as reinforcement), and rice bran (as a filler) were prepared. Tensile strength, strain, and Young's modulus will be the parameters concerning which the quality of the biocomposite can be tested. On the one hand, bagasse fiber is to be a strength enhancer in the resulting biocomposite. On the other hand, rice bran may increase the biocomposite's density. The process research comprises fiber yarn from milled bagasse, alkalized fiber with KMnO4, specimen printing process, and analysis. All the fibers were treated by soaking them in 3 grams of KMnO4 solution for 30 and 45 minutes. The fiber is drained in an oven at 50 °C for ±1.5 hours. The printed fiber onto a specimen mold was printed with a mixture of epoxy resin and rice bran (1:1 w/w) and left for one day. Variation in the fiber mass was at 3, 4, and 5 grams. The sizes of the specimens were similar to the size of the mold according to ASTM D-638 type IV. Then, the fibers were removed from the mold and tested for tensile strength, strain, and Young's modulus. The results show that the greater the fiber mass, the greater the tensile strength value. These findings indicate that the tensile strength was optimized after soaking for 45 minutes with 5-gram fiber weight, which resulted in the tensile strength of 26.32±0.25 MPa, strain of 9.65±0.14%, Young's Modulus of 3.29±0.05 MPa, and water absorption of 41.99%.</p>

Использование семян льна-долгунца при производстве безалкогольного пива «Светлое»

Research is presented on replacing part of the barley malt with flax seeds in the production of beer wort and its effect on physicochemical parameters. The greatest value for the duration of saccharification and filtration was obtained with the addition of 4% fiber flax seeds. The duration of saccharification increased from 5 to 15 minutes, and the duration of filtration from 75 to 180 minutes. When replacing barley malt with 1% fiber flax seeds, the acidity and mass fraction of moisture do not exceed the GOST requirements. The use of fiber flax seeds in the production of beer wort did not affect the transparency of the finished product, but a pleasant nutty smell and mild taste appeared. The production of beer wort, the optimal proportion of flax seeds when replacing barley malt is 1%. Since when it increases to 4%, the acidity and mass fraction of moisture in the wort do not meet the requirements of GOST, this may affect the quality of the finished product and its shelf life. The results obtained must be taken into account in the further development of the non-alcoholic beer recipe. Keywords: FIBER FLAX, BARLEY MALT, BEER WORTH, NON-ALCOHOLIC BEER

Effect of Flowrate and Pressure on the Crossflow Filtration in Textile Wastewater Treatment by Commercial UF Membrane

Textile industries are one of the greatest wastewater producers as they require a significant amount of water to be used in the dyeing and finishing processes of textile manufacturing. The number of unit operations in the technological process, the product range, the bath ratio, the mass of fiber in relation to the bath volume, and the finishing machine are some variables that will affect water consumption in the textile industry. As a result, generally, a typical textile plant may consume a volume of water between 100,000 and 300,000 m3 annually. As textiles address a substantial portion of human requirements, it is predicted that by 2050, there will be 160 million metric tonnes, three times as much clothing as there is today. Membrane technology in wastewater treatment is a recent interest arising technique and garnering the industrial application’s interest, owing to its ease of setup and low energy requirement. Crossflow membrane filtration is commonly used in the industry, attributed to its tangential flow across the membrane mechanism, leading to low fouling. This study investigated the textile wastewater’s effluents using crossflow ultrafiltration (UF) membrane filtration. The effect of the operating parameter in terms of pressure and flowrate of the crossflow system were performed to evaluate it permeate flux performance. The study’s outcome reveals pressure increases from 2 bar to 4 bar, the water flux enhances dramatically from 156.26 L/m2hr to 591.98 L/m2hr, and the water flux further increases constantly from 4 bar to 10 bar. On the other hand, the flowrate positively affects the permeate flux, where the flux was enhanced from 651.01 L/m2hr to 726.08 L/m2hr when adjusting the flow rate from 2 LPM to 6 LPM. The results from this study suggested that crossflow membrane filtration system could be commercially feasible due to its permeate flux performance.

Preparation and Properties of Gradient Sound-Absorbing Composites with Waste Feathers

To make full use of waste feather resources, waste feather fiber/polybutanediol succinate gradient sound-absorbing composites were prepared by a hot-pressing process with waste feather fiber as a reinforcing material and polybutanediol succinate as a matrix material. It can be applied to construction and other fields. The influence of gradient waste feather fiber mass fraction, gradient material density, and gradient material thickness on the sound-absorbing performance was studied, and the sound-absorbing mechanism of the material was analyzed. To determine the average sound-absorbing coefficient, maximum absorbing coefficient, and noise reduction coefficient as the evaluation index, the gradient sound-absorbing composites with waste feathers were compared with market common porous sound-absorbing materials with polyester fiber and wool fiber. The maximum sound-absorbing coefficient of the gradient sound-absorbing composites with waste feathers was 0.860; the average sound-absorbing coefficient was 0.408; the noise reduction coefficient was 0.393; and the noise reduction grade was IV. The sound-absorbing band was wide, and gradient sound-absorbing composites with waste feathers can be applied over a wide range.

In situ creation of aramid fiber surface coating with polymerizable deep eutectic solvents and their interfacial bonding properties with rubber

AbstractThe coating was created on the surface of aramid fibers (AFs) by solution dip‐coating and in situ UV curable method, using a polymerizable deep eutectic solvent (PDES), dissolved poly(ethylene imine), and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry confirmed the successful construction of the coating on the AF surface, which accounted for 12%–17% of the total fiber mass. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images revealed a 2 μm increase in fiber diameter and a maximum fiber surface average roughness (Ra) of 263.7 nm when the polyethyleneimine content was 0.5% (AF‐PDES‐0.5). Based on these results, H pull‐out samples of fiber/rubber composites were fabricated. The results indicated that the H pull‐out force of AF‐PDES‐0.5 samples increased by 109.74% than that of untreated fiber, and reached 12.92 N of the maximum strength. In summary, the method is simple, rapid, non‐polluting, capable of continuous, and intelligent construction of coatings on the surface of AF. Thus, making it highly promising for application in the field of aviation tires.Highlights Using PDES, green, and low‐carbon preparation processes. Solution dip‐coating and UV reaction for improved reaction speed and workability. Quantitative of interface thickness and modulus using EDS and AFM.

Potential Application of Natural Fibres for the Reinforcement of Unpaved Forest Roads—Response after RL-CBR Tests

Unpaved roads are essential as transportation infrastructure. These roads are traditionally built utilizing local soils and aggregates. The application of different materials to improve the strength and the overall performance of these road solutions has been investigated. This study focuses on the assessment of the suitability of reinforcing a fine soil using natural fibres from the forest value chain—specifically, pine needles—for unpaved forest roads. The resilient response of both unreinforced and reinforced soils was assessed with RL-CBR tests (California Bearing tests with repeated load) for different percentages of natural fibres incorporated into the soil. The force–penetration response, CBR value, recoverable and permanent displacements, and equivalent modulus were estimated. The effect of different load stages on the elastic response of both unreinforced and reinforced soils was also evaluated. The CBR values improved with the addition of pine needles; the best response was observed for specimens reinforced with 1% (mass) of these natural fibres (the CBR value increased by 45%). The equivalent modulus also was improved, showing that the stiffness of the soil increased with the inclusion of reinforcement. The findings imply that RL-CBR studies offer a promising method for obtaining important design parameters, especially for unpaved forest roads where investments in soil characterization are frequently limited.

Modified addition theorem on Kubelka-Munk transmission law for mass prediction of each primary in two-mixed cotton fiber blends

Unclear light propagation in mixed fibers has resulted in unachievable masses of primary fibers, in particular thin two-mixed fiber assemblies for decades. Hereby, a modified mixed medium addition theorem of the Kubelka-Munk transmission model is proposed to address this issue. This theorem was constructed by introducing a transfer function in the common ones on scattering coefficients, and such a transfer function takes both the mass proportion of each component and the reflectivity of mixed material into consideration. This opens up a new avenue for understanding the possible light mechanism of color mixed fiber assemblies. The proposed method demonstrated excellent accuracy in determining the primary masses of 48 specimens, with an average mean absolute error of only 2.23 mg. In comparison, the Lambert-Beer law yielded a much higher average mean absolute error of 8.66 for all types of blended samples. Such superiority was particularly obvious in white-black mixed samples, probably due to its comprised reflectance. In brief, this proposed theorem shows a high-quality prediction accuracy level in fiber mass and can be expanded to detect and control mixed fibers, as well as fiber length and uniformity detection through further study.

TOB1 and TOB2 mark distinct RNA processing granules in differentiating lens fiber cells.

Differentiation of lens fiber cells involves a complex interplay of signals from growth factors together with tightly regulated gene expression via transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators. Various studies have demonstrated that RNA-binding proteins, functioning in ribonucleoprotein granules, have important roles in regulating post-transcriptional expression during lens development. In this study, we examined the expression and localization of two members of the BTG/TOB family of RNA-binding proteins, TOB1 and TOB2, in the developing lens and examined the phenotype of mice that lack Tob1. By RT-PCR, both Tob1 and Tob2 mRNA were detected in epithelial and fiber cells of embryonic and postnatal murine lenses. In situ hybridization showed Tob1 and Tob2 mRNA were most intensely expressed in the early differentiating fibers, with weaker expression in anterior epithelial cells, and both appeared to be downregulated in the germinative zone of E15.5 lenses. TOB1 protein was detected from E11.5 to E16.5 and was predominantly detected in large cytoplasmic puncta in early differentiating fiber cells, often co-localizing with the P-body marker, DCP2. Occasional nuclear puncta were also observed. By contrast, TOB2 was detected in a series of interconnected peri-nuclear granules, in later differentiating fiber cells of the inner cortex. TOB2 did not appear to co-localize with DCP2 but did partially co-localize with an early stress granule marker (EIF3B). These data suggest that TOB1 and TOB2 are involved with different aspects of the mRNA processing cycle in lens fiber cells. In vitro experiments using rat lens epithelial explants treated with or without a fiber differentiating dose of FGF2 showed that both TOB1 and TOB2 were up-regulated during FGF-induced differentiation. In differentiating explants, TOB1 also co-localized with DCP2 in large cytoplasmic granules. Analyses of Tob1-/- mice revealed relatively normal lens morphology but a subtle defect in cell cycle arrest of some cells at the equator and in the lens fiber mass of E13.5 embryos. Overall, these findings suggest that TOB proteins play distinct regulatory roles in RNA processing during lens fiber differentiation.

Analysis of the significant factors influence on the fiber mass’s clearing and blending

The effectiveness of the spinning production’s clearing and blending process was studied in the work. The lock mass Y1, the impurities mass Y2 and the lock density Y3 were selected as clearing and blending process’ efficiency factor. The coefficient Cp influence on the values of Y1, Y2, Y3 was studied more detail. In a similar way, the effect of the foreign impurities’ maximum content gMax on the locks’ average indicators Y1, Y2, Y3 was studied. It has been established that the locks’ mass most depends on the locks’ kinetic energy. The higher the locks’ speed and mass, the more it is subject to impurities’ blending and extracting. The locks’ size and number should optimally correlate with the working area’s size. When we fill the working area with fiber mass, the clearing and blending degree decreases. On the contrary, with a fiber mass’s rarefied flow, the clearing and blending efficiency becomes greater, but the equipment productivity decreases. The smaller the locks’ mass, the lower their interaction likelihood with the working parts, the cleaning degree is lower.

The Influence of Coconut Coir and Snake Fruit Fronds Mass on the Mechanical Properties of Biocomposites

Coconut coir and snake fruit fronds are currently underutilized, which drives research to expand the benefits of these natural fibers. Both materials were alkalinized for 30 and 45 minutes in 1.25% KMnO4 immersion. The fiber mass was varied by 3 grams, 4 grams, and 5 grams. The goal of this study was to obtain tensile strength, strain, and Young's modulus using the ASTM D-630 test. The results showed that the highest tensile strength results in coconut fiber of 5.75 MPa for 5 grams and 30-min immersion. The strain of 14.8% for 45 minutes and 4 grams of fiber immersion, and a Young’s modulus of 0.47 MPa for 30 minutes and 5 grams of soaked fiber. Furthermore, the snake fruit fronds fiber demonstrated tensile strength of 18.26 MPa for 45 minutes and 5 grams of soaking fiber, strain of 16.5% for 30 minutes and 3 grams of soaking fiber, and Young’s modulus of 1.48 MPa for 30 minutes of soaking fiber.

Technological scheme of wood resources utilization model development

In the present work the justification of the urgency of solving the issue of environmental friendliness of materials produced from wood resources is given. The analysis of the production technology of semifinished wood-fiber products is carried out at the current stage of development of the board industry. The estimation of board formation properties of the wood fiber mass produced in disk blade grinding machines is given, and the inefficiency of the used equipment is substantiated. The expediency of using the equipment with cavitation effect as the second grinding stage in the production of wood pulp was substantiated. As a result, the purpose of the present work was the development of the technology for the production of the semifinished wood fiber product with the use of a rotor-pulsation apparatus as the second stage of the wood pulp mill. To achieve the goal, an analysis of modern technologies used in the production of fiberboard was carried out. The model of technological scheme of production of wood fiberboards by wet method in the environment of AnyLogic program package was developed. Based on the technological scheme developed, a dynamic model of the fiberboard production process was built using a rotor-pulsation apparatus in the second stage of wood pulp milling. In the course of research, statistical analysis methods and simulation modelling of technological processes were applied. The results obtained can find application in the production of fiberboard, as well as in the improvement of technological processes at the enterprises of the forest complex.

Influence of the thermal expansion on the surface quality of coated and non-coated natural-fiber-reinforced composites

Natural fiber reinforced plastics (NFRP) are increasingly used as a sustainable material alternative to glass or carbon fiber reinforced plastics in lightweight solutions. Visible and/or decorative coated components must meet high surface qualities and defects such as fiber print-through due to different expansion behavior of fiber and matrix are not permitted. Various studies investigate the expansion behavior of NFRP under the influence of temperature and humidity on mechanical properties. In contrast, there are no studies that relate these properties to decoratively coated NFRP and the importance for surface quality. The present study aims to fill this gap using a flax fiber reinforced bio-based epoxy resin (FFRP) manufactured by resin transfer molding process (RTM). The surface roughness and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) were determined as a function of the fiber mass fraction. Further, FFRP and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) were decoratively coated and subjected to an alternating climate test. The results showed that reducing the fiber mass fraction of an FFRP to 40 % and using a glass-fiber non-woven on the surface, in combination with 50 % fiber mass fraction, were the most promising methods for reducing roughness in the uncoated state. In addition, the FFRP exhibited an increased CTE longitudinally of 11 ppmK−1 and transversely of 105 ppmK−1 to the fiber direction compared to the CFRP (5 and 79 ppmK−1), along with increased roughness of Ra 0.8 compared to 0.6. The effect of fiber print-through was shown for all variants by the stress in the alternating climate test.

Sea-urchin-like covalent organic framework as solid-phase microextraction fiber coating for sensitive detection of trace pyrethroid insecticides in water

Pyrethroid insecticides residues in water pose a critical threat to the environment from widespread production and overuse. Therefore, it is of major relevance to develop a sensitive and efficient method to detect pyrethroid insecticides in water. In this paper, a covalent organic framework (COF) with NHCO as the structural unit was synthesized using a simple condensation reaction of TTL (NH2) and TDBA (COOH). Various characterization results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that multiple interactions synergistically promoted the adsorption of pyrethroid insecticides on COFTDBA-TTL. Based on the excellent extraction capability of COFTDBA-TTL, efficient detection of 11 pyrethroid insecticides in water was achieved using COFTDBA-TTL-coated SPME fiber and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The results showed that the extraction enhancement factors (EFs) of pyrethroid insecticides were as high as 2584–7199, and the extraction efficiencies were 3.28–446 times higher than that of commercial fiber, which reflected its high adsorption property. Meanwhile, the limits of detection (LODs) of the COFTDBA-TTL coated fiber were as low as 0.170–1.68 ng/L under the optimal conditions, and the recoveries of 11 pyrethroid insecticides in the actual water samples were 88.5–108 %. In conclusion, the SPME-GC–MS method based on COFTDBA-TTL coated fiber was simple, rapid, and efficient, and should have a promising application in trace detection of pyrethroid insecticides in the environment.

Sensitivity Analysis of Upper Limb Musculoskeletal Models During Isometric and Isokinetic Tasks.

Sensitivity coefficients are used to understand how errors in subject-specific musculoskeletal model parameters influence model predictions. Previous sensitivity studies in the lower limb calculated sensitivity using perturbations that do not fully represent the diversity of the population. Hence, the present study performs sensitivity analysis in the upper limb using a large synthetic dataset to capture greater physiological diversity. The large dataset (n = 401 synthetic subjects) was created by adjusting maximum isometric force, optimal fiber length, pennation angle, and bone mass to induce atrophy, hypertrophy, osteoporosis, and osteopetrosis in two upper limb musculoskeletal models. Simulations of three isometric and two isokinetic upper limb tasks were performed using each synthetic subject to predict muscle activations. Sensitivity coefficients were calculated using three different methods (two point, linear regression, and sensitivity functions) to understand how changes in Hill-type parameters influenced predicted muscle activations. The sensitivity coefficient methods were then compared by evaluating how well the coefficients accounted for measurement uncertainty. This was done by using the sensitivity coefficients to predict the range of muscle activations given known errors in measuring musculoskeletal parameters from medical imaging. Sensitivity functions were found to best account for measurement uncertainty. Simulated muscle activations were most sensitive to optimal fiber length and maximum isometric force during upper limb tasks. Importantly, the level of sensitivity was muscle and task dependent. These findings provide a foundation for how large synthetic datasets can be applied to capture physiologically diverse populations and understand how model parameters influence predictions.

A vertically translating collection system to facilitate roll-to-roll centrifugal spinning of highly aligned polyacrylonitrile nanofibers

Centrifugal spinning is a fiber spinning method capable of producing fibers in the nanoscale diameter range from a multitude of polymers, including polyacrylonitrile (PAN). With a traditional centrifugal spinner, fiber can be rapidly spun and collected on static collection posts. However, the use of posts inevitably forms a dense fiber “ring” that is incompatible with roll-to-roll manufacturing processes. In this work, factors that influence throughput and scalability of highly aligned centrifugally spun PAN fibers are explored. A custom centrifugal setup is used to vertically translate collected fibers during the spinning process to distribute them over a large surface area. In addition, factors that affect PAN fiber diameter during the spinning process are investigated, including spinneret to collector distance, rotational speed, and humidity. Resulting data demonstrates that these factors can be independently optimized to reliably produce quality PAN fiber in the nanoscale diameter range. Furthermore, the fiber mass collection rate can be increased without affecting sample quality when the vertical translation speed is increased. This work demonstrates the potential scalability of centrifugal spinning to quickly produce large amounts of highly aligned nanofiber in a cheap, efficient, and reliable manner, and also lends the ability to be collected in a roll-to-roll fashion.

Improvements in Mechanical and Shape-Memory Properties of Bio-Based Composite: Effects of Adding Carbon Fiber and Graphene Nanoparticles.

Shape-memory carbon fiber (CF) polymer composites reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) as a filler based on a bio-based V-fa/ECO copolymer were prepared at different graphene GnPs and CF mass fractions using the hand lay-up and hot-pressing methods. The obtained composite specimens were subjected to flexural, dynamic mechanical, and shape-memory analyses. The obtained results revealed that the flexural strength and modulus were improved by the addition of the GnPs and CF due to the improvement in the interfacial adhesion and fiber reinforcement with up to 3 wt.% GnPs and 60 wt.% CF. Additionally, appreciable improvements in the shape-memory performance were achieved with the addition of the GnPs, where values of up to 93% and 96% were recorded for the shape fixity and recovery, respectively. The shape-memory performance was affected by the fiber mass fraction, with the composites retaining the shape-memory effect albeit with a significant drop in performance at higher fiber mass fractions. Lastly, the specimens at 40 wt.% CF and 3 wt.% GnPs were determined to be the optimum compositions for the best performance of the bio-based SMP composite.

Compression properties and constitutive model of short glass fiber reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK)

To analyze the deformation behavior of short glass fiber-reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (SGFR-PEEK) under various conditions through numerical simulations, it is crucial to construct a constitutive model that can describe its stress–strain behavior over a wide range of strain rates and temperatures. In this study, quasi-static compression tests were conducted on SGFR-PEEK composites with varying mass fractions, and dynamic tests were performed using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar to acquire the material's compressive stress–strain response under quasi-static and dynamic conditions. The results indicate that, under compression, the yield stress of SGFR-PEEK composites increases with an augmentation in glass fiber content, rises with increasing strain rate, and decreases with elevated temperature. Based on experimental findings, a modified Johnson–Cook constitutive model was established to characterize the mechanical performance of SGFR-PEEK. In comparison to the traditional Johnson–Cook intrinsic structure model, the modified model takes into account the glass fiber mass fraction as comprehensively as possible and better predicts the material's flow behavior at high strain rates. Finally, this modified constitutive model was implemented in the ABAQUS software using the user-defined subroutine VUMAT to simulate the compression behavior of SGFR-PEEK composites under different loading conditions, and the model was validated. This research provides valuable insights for the practical application of SGFR-PEEK composites in engineering.

Preparation of silicon-nitride ceramic fibers with hafnium compounds loaded on the surface and the high temperature properties

The surface and core are composed of heterogeneous fiber materials that are endowed with excellent properties due to the unique structure. In this work, polysiloxane (PSZ) was used as the ceramic precursor and hafnium carbide (HfC) was used as the hafnium source, and Si–N–C–O-Hf hybridized ceramic fibers were obtained using electrostatic spinning and pyrolysis. After the primary fibers were pyrolyzed at 1400 °C, hemispherical particles were found on the surface of the ceramic fibers. And the average fiber diameters were around 3 μm. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the mass of the cured fibers decreased to 67 % below 1650 °C in an argon atmosphere. The mass of the ceramic fibers remained almost unchanged in the high temperature aerobic environment. Meanwhile, the thermal conductivity of the specimens has remained relatively low. Analytical tests confirmed that the hafnium-containing hemispherical protective layer gave the specimens excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and high temperature insulation. In addition, the excellent mechanical properties make it suitable for a wide range of applications. The optimized high-temperature performance and mechanical properties indicate that metal-hybridized silicon-based ceramic fibers herein are suitable for ultra-high-temperature environments.

Multiphase hybrid model and thermal insulation simulation of elytra-mimetic ceramic fiber aerogel

In our previous work, the coaxial electrostatic spinning method was applied to construct nanofiber/SiBCN ceramic aerogel with an elytra-mimetic structure. The material presented excellent mechanical, insulation, oxidation resistance, and other properties. Based on preliminary experiments and literature reports, the integrated heat transfer behavior of nanofiber/SiBCN composite ceramic aerogels in high-temperature environments was affected by several factors, such as coaxial fiber size properties, fiber particle content, interactions, and spatial distribution. Moreover, the above factors overlapped and interacted with each other, and it was hard to generalize a clear law of action through traditional experiments and characterization. Therefore, the paper constructed a representative volume unit (RVE) model based on the complex spatial distribution characteristics of composite aerogels, using fractal theory, Rosseland equation theory, and multiphase model theory. This paper investigated the fiber and particle content, the size characteristics of the coaxial fibers, and the overall heat transfer process in high-temperature environments using the finite element method. The finite element simulated the effective thermal conductivity of multiphase aerogel composites under multiple parameters, such as fiber occupancy, fiber core-shell diameter ratio, temperature, and heat transfer mode. We obtained the property parameters of the complex composition of the material through fractal theory. The model was combined with finite elements to study the fiber particle content, the size characteristics of coaxial fibers, and the integrated heat transfer process in high-temperature environments. The fibers improved the absorption and reflection of thermal radiation with increasing fiber mass fraction, leading to improved ability of ceramic fiber aerogel to extinguish light. The fibers had a larger area to absorb and reflect thermal radiation. Based on the excellent extinction ability of SiC fibers, the composite ceramic aerogel had improved thermal performance at a specifically fiber-to-shell diameter ratio through a comprehensive multifactor simulation analysis.
