Fabrication and Characterization of Silica Aerogel @Polystyrene Composite Beads by Suspension Polymerization

Abstract:

In this study, the powder of hydrophobic silica aerogel remaining nanopore by ambient pressure drying was successfully introduced into polystyrene beads during suspension polymerization. nanosilica powder without nanopore was also used. Pure polystyrene, silica aerogel/polystyrene (PS) and nanosilica/polystyrene beads were fabricated, respectively. The structure and properties of silica aerogel @PS composite beads were characterized by SEM, EDS, TG-DSC and FT-IR. The results of TG-DSC, FT-IR and EDS show silica aerogel is located in the PS beads, but it is difficult to be observed by SEM because of its low content. The introduction of silica and silica aerogel both decrease the transparency of PS beads. Silica aerogel loosen the microstructure of PS beads.
