A drainage method was used to measure the density of the aramid aerogel prepared in the embodiments and comparative embodiments.
Test results of the specific surface area and average pore diameter of the aramid aerogel obtained in Embodiment 1 were shown in Table 1.
Data of the porosity, specific surface area, density, average pore diameter of pores, and pore volume of the aramid aerogel obtained in part of the above embodiments are listed in Table 2.
It may be seen from the above description that, in the above embodiments of the present disclosure, the following technical effects are realized.
An application range of the aramid aerogel is expanded by owning the aramid aerogel with the above porosity. In addition, the aramid aerogel has good structure and mechanical properties and excellent thermal insulation performance, and in particular, has a very good application prospect in the field of high temperature thermal insulation, and thus suitable for industrial production.
The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, the present disclosure may have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
