에어로겔은 규소산화물(SiO2)로 이루어진 물질로 비표면적이 수백 내지 1500m2/g 정도이고, 기공율이 90% 이상인 나노 구조의 투명 또는 반투명 첨단 소재이다. 이와 같은 나노 다공 구조를 갖는 에어로겔은 낮은 열전도도의 특성이 있기 때문에 단열재로서의 높은 잠재력이 있을 뿐만 아니라, 냉장고, 건축 자재, 자동차, 항공기, 산업용 파이프 라인, 보온병 등에 사용될 수 있는 매우 효율적인 초단열재로 평가받고 있다.Aerogel is a material consisting of silicon oxide (SiO 2 ) is a transparent or semi-transparent high-tech material of the nano structure having a specific surface area of several hundred to 1500m 2 / g, the porosity of 90% or more. Aerogels with such nano-porous structure have low thermal conductivity, so they have high potential as a heat insulator and are evaluated as a very efficient super insulation material that can be used in refrigerators, building materials, automobiles, aircraft, industrial pipelines, and thermos. I am getting it.

그러나, 일반적으로 분말 또는 입자의 형태로 제조되는 에어로겔은 높은 취성으로 인해 작은 충격에도 쉽게 부서지는 등 강도가 매우 취약하며, 다양한 두께 및 형태로의 가공이 어렵기 때문에 우수한 단열 특성에도 에어로겔 단독으로는 단열재로의 응용이 매우 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 이를 해결하기 위하여 에어로겔과 다른 소재와의 복합체 형성을 통한 새로운 단열재에 대한 연구가 시도되고 있다. However, in general, aerogels prepared in the form of powders or particles are very weak in strength, such as being easily broken by small impacts due to their high brittleness, and are difficult to process in various thicknesses and shapes. There is a problem that the application to the heat insulating material is very difficult. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a study on a new heat insulating material by forming a composite of aerogel and other materials has been attempted.

에어로겔을 시트화 하여 내구성을 향상시키는 방법으로 가장 널리 사용되는 방법은 섬유 또는 섬유웹에 에어로겔 전구체를 함침한 후 겔화 반응 및 초임계 건조하는 습식 공정으로, 예를 들어 미국 특허 제5,789,075호에는 매트형 복합체가 개시되어 있다. 또 다른 방법은 아크릴 또는 실리콘 바인더 등의 유기 바인더를 사용하여 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 하지만, 유기 바인더 사용으로 고온에서 사용이 제한이 되고 내구성 향상을 위해 많은 양의 바인더가 첨가되어 에어로겔의 단열성을 저하하는 문제가 발생된다.The most widely used method of sheeting aerogel to improve durability is a wet process of impregnating an airgel precursor in a fiber or fibrous web, followed by gelation reaction and supercritical drying, for example, in US Pat. No. 5,789,075. Complexes are disclosed. Another method may be to use an organic binder such as an acrylic or silicone binder to improve durability. However, the use of the organic binder is limited to use at high temperatures and a large amount of binder is added to improve the durability, thereby causing a problem of lowering the thermal insulation of the airgel.

한편, 무기 바인더를 이용하여 금속 판재의 일면에 에어로겔 단열층을 형성하는 방법을 고려해볼 수 있으나, 이 경우 성형 시 연성이 부족하여 에어로겔층의 크랙 형성이 발생하여 단열성이 저하되는 문제가 발생할 수 있다. On the other hand, a method of forming an airgel heat insulating layer on one surface of the metal plate using an inorganic binder may be considered, but in this case, there may be a problem in that heat insulation is deteriorated due to insufficient formation of cracks in the airgel layer.

이에, 불연성, 연성, 성형성과 함께 내구성이 향상된 에어로겔 시트 및 이를 포함하는 단열 재료가 제공되는 경우 관련 분야에서 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.Therefore, it is expected that the airgel sheet having improved durability along with non-combustibility, ductility, and moldability and an insulation material including the same may be usefully applied in related fields.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명의 바람직한 실시 형태를 설명한다. 그러나, 본 발명의 실시 형태는 여러 가지 다른 형태로 변형될 수 있으며, 본 발명의 범위가 이하 설명하는 실시 형태로 한정되는 것은 아니다. Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described a preferred embodiment of the present invention. However, embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various other forms, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

본 발명에 의하면 금속 박막의 일면에 에어로겔층이 적층되고, 이때 상기 에어로겔층은 섬유상 단열 재료 및 무기 바인더를 포함하여 연성 및 내구성이 향상되고, 나아가 이를 이용하는 경우 우수한 성형성을 갖는 에어로겔 시트가 제공된다. According to the present invention, an airgel layer is laminated on one surface of a metal thin film, wherein the airgel layer includes a fibrous insulating material and an inorganic binder to improve ductility and durability, and furthermore, when using the airgel sheet, an airgel sheet having excellent moldability is provided. .

보다 상세하게, 본 발명의 에어로겔 시트는 박막 지지체; 및 상기 박막 지지체의 적어도 일면에 적층된 에어로겔 단열 조성물층을 포함하며, 상기 에어로겔 단열 조성물층은 에어로겔 수분산 조성물, 섬유상 단열재료 및 무기 바인더를 포함하는 에어로겔 단열 조성물로 형성된 것이다. More specifically, the airgel sheet of the present invention is a thin film support; And an airgel heat insulating composition layer laminated on at least one surface of the thin film support, wherein the airgel heat insulating composition layer is formed of an airgel heat insulating composition including an airgel water dispersion composition, a fibrous heat insulating material, and an inorganic binder.

상기 박막 지지체는 알루미늄 박막, 알루미늄 합금 박막, 티타늄 박막 및 세라믹 박막으로 이루어진 그룹으로부터 선택될 수 있으며, 알루미늄 박막의 경우 경제적이며, 가볍고 연성이 뛰어난 소재로써 성형성이 우수하고 비행기이나 자동차 경량화 부품으로 많이 사용되며, 다른 금속 박막에 비해 열 반사율이 우수하고 부식이 잘되지 않아서 단열 소재 및 차량용 부품 커버로 응용이 용이하므로, 바람직하게는 알루미늄 박막을 이용할 수 있다.The thin film support may be selected from the group consisting of an aluminum thin film, an aluminum alloy thin film, a titanium thin film and a ceramic thin film, and in the case of an aluminum thin film, it is economical, lightweight, and has excellent ductility, and has excellent moldability, and is widely used in airplanes or automobiles. It is used, since the heat reflectance is superior to other metal thin film and does not corrode well, so easy application as a heat insulating material and a vehicle part cover, preferably an aluminum thin film can be used.

상기 박막 지지체는 10 내지 100μm의 두께인 것이 바람직하며, 상기 금속 박막의 두께가 10μm 미만인 경우에는 에어로겔 시트가 외력에 취약하여 쉽게 부서져 내구성이 저하되는 문제가 있고, 건조 시 박막 지지체의 수축으로 인해 크랙(crack)이 발생할 수 있으며, 상기 금속 박막의 두께가 100μm를 초과하는 경우에는 상기 에어로겔 단열 조성물층과의 물성 차이에 의해 성형 시 금속 박막과 에어로겔 단열 조성물층 사이의 접착이 저하될 수 있고, 성형성이 떨어지며 경량화를 요구하는 분야에는 적용이 부적합한 문제가 있다. 바람직하게, 상기 금속 20 내지 60μm의 두께인 것이며, 보다 바람직하게는 30 내지 40μm의 두께인 것이다. Preferably, the thin film support has a thickness of 10 to 100 μm, and when the thickness of the metal thin film is less than 10 μm, the airgel sheet is vulnerable to external force and thus easily broken, thereby deteriorating durability. (crack) may occur, and when the thickness of the metal thin film exceeds 100 μm, adhesion between the metal thin film and the airgel insulating composition layer may decrease during molding due to a difference in physical properties from the airgel insulating composition layer. There is a problem that the application is unsuitable for the field that is low in sex and requires light weight. Preferably, the metal is 20 to 60 µm thick, and more preferably 30 to 40 µm thick.

상기 에어로겔 단열 조성물은 에어로겔 단열 조성물의 전체 중량을 기준으로 에어로겔 수분산 조성물 50 내지 80 중량%, 섬유상 단열재료 10 내지 40 중량% 및 무기 바인더 5 내지 20 중량%를 포함하는 것이 바람직하며, 보다 바람직하게는 에어로겔 수분산 조성물 60 내지 70 중량%, 섬유상 단열재료 20 내지 30 중량% 및 무기 바인더 10 내지 15 중량%를 포함하는 것이다. The airgel insulating composition preferably comprises 50 to 80% by weight of the airgel dispersion composition, 10 to 40% by weight of the fibrous insulating material and 5 to 20% by weight of the inorganic binder, based on the total weight of the airgel insulating composition, more preferably Is 60 to 70% by weight of the airgel aqueous dispersion composition, 20 to 30% by weight of the fibrous insulating material and 10 to 15% by weight of the inorganic binder.

상기 에어로겔 단열 조성물이 에어로겔 수분산 조성물을 50 중량% 미만으로 포함하는 경우에는 에어로겔에 의해 획득될 수 있는 단열 효과가 저하되는 문제가 있으며, 80 중량%를 초과하는 경우에는 섬유상 단열재료 및/또는 무기 바인더의 함량이 불충분하게 되므로 연성 및 고온 내구성 등이 불충분해지고, 수분함량 증가로 인한 에어로겔 단열 조성물층의 표면에 미세한 균열 등의 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. When the airgel thermal insulation composition contains less than 50% by weight of the airgel water dispersion composition, there is a problem in that the thermal insulation effect that can be obtained by the airgel is lowered. When the airgel thermal insulation composition exceeds 80% by weight, the fibrous insulating material and / or the inorganic Since the content of the binder becomes insufficient, ductility and high temperature durability become insufficient, and problems such as fine cracks on the surface of the airgel insulation composition layer due to an increase in water content may occur.

상기 에어로겔 단열 조성물이 섬유상 단열재료를 10 중량% 미만으로 포함하는 경우에는 연성이 불충분해지고 이에 따라 성형성이 저하되는 문제가 있으며, 40 중량%를 초과하여 포함되는 경우에는 수분 함량이 저하되어 에어로겔 단열 조성물의 혼합에 어려움이 있다.When the airgel insulating composition contains less than 10% by weight of the fibrous insulating material, there is a problem that the ductility is insufficient and thus the moldability is lowered. When the airgel insulating composition is contained in an amount exceeding 40% by weight, the water content is lowered to insulate the airgel. There is difficulty in mixing the composition.

한편, 상기 에어로겔 단열 조성물이 무기 바인더를 5 중량% 미만으로 포함하는 경우에는 경제성 및 온도 내성이 저하되고, 박막 지지체와 에어로겔 단열 조성물층 사이의 접착력 저하되는 문제가 있으며, 20 중량%를 초과하여 포함되는 경우에는 에어로겔 단열 조성물층의 표면이 과도하게 단단해져서 연성 및 성형성이 떨어지고 바인더 함량의 증가에 따라 단열 성능이 저하되는 문제가 있다.On the other hand, when the airgel thermal insulation composition contains less than 5% by weight of the inorganic binder, there is a problem that the economical and temperature resistance is lowered, the adhesive strength between the thin film support and the airgel heat insulating composition layer is lowered, and exceeds 20% by weight If the surface of the airgel heat insulating composition layer is excessively hard, there is a problem that the ductility and moldability is deteriorated and the heat insulating performance is reduced with the increase of the binder content.

상기 에어로겔 수분산 조성물은 물, 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP) 및 에어로겔 분말을 포함하는 것이며, 상기 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)와 물의 중량비는 1:50 내지 1:1000이고, 상기 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)와 에어로겔 분말의 중량비는 1:10 내지 1:500인 것이다. The airgel aqueous dispersion composition comprises water, a super absorbent polymer (SAP) and airgel powder, the weight ratio of the superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and water is 1:50 to 1: 1000, and the superabsorbent polymer (SAP) The weight ratio of the airgel powder is 1:10 to 1: 500.

본 발명에 사용될 수 있는 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)는 폴리아크릴 아마이드, 폴리아크릴산, 폴리메타크릴산, 폴리에틸렌 옥사이드, 폴리비닐알코올, 젤라틴, 폴리사카라이드, 셀룰로오스 또는 이의 유도체, 및 키토산으로 이루어진 그룹으로부터 선택된 적어도 하나의 성분 또는 이들의 염을 포함할 수 있으며, 바람직하게는 폴리아크릴산 또는 이의 염을 포함하는 것이 바람직하다.Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) that can be used in the present invention are selected from the group consisting of polyacrylamide, polyacrylic acid, polymethacrylic acid, polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl alcohol, gelatin, polysaccharides, cellulose or derivatives thereof, and chitosan. It may comprise at least one component or salts thereof, preferably polyacrylic acid or salts thereof.

다만, 본 발명에 사용될 수 있는 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)는 상기와 같은 성분을 갖는 것으로 제한되는 것은 아니며, 물 흡수력이 50 g/g 이상인 어떠한 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)도 사용할 수 있고, 바람직하게는 50 내지 1000g/g의 물 흡수력을 갖는 것이다. 보다 바람직하게, 본 발명의 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)의 물 흡수력은 300 내지 500 g/g인 것이다. However, the super absorbent polymer (SAP) that can be used in the present invention is not limited to those having the above components, and any super absorbent polymer (SAP) having a water absorption of 50 g / g or more may be used, and preferably It has a water absorption of 50 to 1000 g / g. More preferably, the water absorption of the super absorbent polymer (SAP) of the present invention is 300 to 500 g / g.

고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)의 흡수력이 50g/g 미만인 경우에는 물을 흡수하는 능력이 불충분하여 많은 양의 고흡수성 폴리머를 사용해야 하고 따라서 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)가 잔존하여 소수성 분말의 최종 물성에 영향을 미치는 문제가 있다. If the absorbency of the super absorbent polymer (SAP) is less than 50 g / g, the ability to absorb water is insufficient. Therefore, a large amount of super absorbent polymer must be used. Therefore, the super absorbent polymer (SAP) remains to affect the final physical properties of the hydrophobic powder. There is a problem.

상기 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)와 물의 중량비는 1:50 내지 1: 1000인 것이 바람직하고, 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)가 상기 범위 미만의 양으로 포함되는 경우에는 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)의 양이 물의 양에 비해 과도하게 적어지므로 바라는 수용액(겔)의 점도에 이르지 못하는 문제가 있으며, 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)가 상기 범위를 초과하는 양으로 포함되는 경우에는 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)의 양이 과다하게 많아지므로 수용액(겔)의 점도가 너무 커져서 소수성 분말과의 혼합이 어려워지는 문제가 있으며, 상기 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)와 물의 중량비는 1:100 내지 1:500인 것이 보다 바람직하다. The weight ratio of the superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and water is preferably 1:50 to 1: 1000. When the superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is included in an amount less than the above range, the amount of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is equal to that of water. Since the amount is excessively small compared to the amount, there is a problem in that the desired viscosity of the aqueous solution (gel) cannot be reached. When the super absorbent polymer (SAP) is included in an amount exceeding the above range, the amount of the super absorbent polymer (SAP) is excessively large. Since the viscosity of the aqueous solution (gel) is too large, it becomes difficult to mix with the hydrophobic powder, and the weight ratio of the superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and water is more preferably 1: 100 to 1: 500.

한편, 상기 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)와 에어로겔 분말의 중량비는 1:10 내지 1:500인 것이 바람직하며, 1:100 내지 1:200인 것이 보다 바람직하다. On the other hand, the weight ratio of the super absorbent polymer (SAP) and the airgel powder is preferably 1:10 to 1: 500, more preferably 1: 100 to 1: 200.

에어로겔 분말이 상기 범위 미만의 양으로 포함되는 경우에는 혼합 수용액 내에 에어로겔 분말의 양이 너무 작아지므로 에어로겔 분말의 특성을 구현하는데 비효율적인 문제가 있으며, 에어로겔 분말이 상기 범위를 초과하는 양으로 포함되는 경우에는 에어로겔 분말의 부피가 과다하게 커지므로 균일하게 분산된 유동성 겔 또는 액상 형태와 같은 원하는 형태의 조성물을 획득하기 어려운 문제가 있다. When the airgel powder is included in an amount less than the above range, the amount of the airgel powder in the mixed aqueous solution is too small, which causes inefficiency in implementing the characteristics of the airgel powder, and when the airgel powder is included in an amount exceeding the above range. There is a problem that it is difficult to obtain a composition of a desired form, such as a flowable gel or liquid form uniformly dispersed because the volume of the airgel powder is excessively large.

본 발명에 사용될 수 있는 상기 에어로겔 분말의 평균 입경은 0.001mm 내지 5mm인 것이 바람직하며, 보다 바람직하게는 0.01mm 내지 0.15mm인 것이다. 평균 입경이 0.001mm 내지 5mm인 에어로겔 분말을 사용하는 것이 점도 제어, 배합 가능양, 및 균일한 혼합가능성 측면에서 가장 바람직하다.The average particle diameter of the airgel powder that can be used in the present invention is preferably 0.001mm to 5mm, more preferably 0.01mm to 0.15mm. It is most preferable to use an airgel powder having an average particle diameter of 0.001 mm to 5 mm in terms of viscosity control, blendable amount, and uniform blendability.

상기 에어로겔 수분산 조성물의 점도는 100 내지 200,000cp인 것이 바람직하며, 1,000 내지 20,000cp인 것이 보다 바람직하다. 점도가 100 cp 미만인 경우 에어로겔과 수분이 상분리되어 혼합되지 않는 문제가 있으며, 200,000 cp를 초과하는 경우 점도가 과도하게 높아지므로 교반이 어려워지는 문제가 있다. The viscosity of the airgel aqueous dispersion composition is preferably 100 to 200,000cp, more preferably 1,000 to 20,000cp. If the viscosity is less than 100 cp, there is a problem that the airgel and water are not separated by phase separation, and if the viscosity exceeds 200,000 cp, the viscosity becomes excessively high, so that stirring is difficult.

한편, 상기 에어로겔 분말은 소수성 실리카에어로겔 분말일 수 있으며, 본 발명에 사용될 수 있는 상기 실리카에어로겔 분말은 에어로겔의 다공성 표면이 소수성으로 개질된 에어로겔 분말을 모두 포함하는 것으로 당해 기술분야에 알려져 있는 어떠한 소수성 실리카에어로겔 분말일 수 있으며, 특정한 종류의 실리카 에어로겔 분말로 한정되는 것은 아니다.On the other hand, the airgel powder may be a hydrophobic silica airgel powder, the silica airgel powder that can be used in the present invention is any hydrophobic silica known in the art to include all the airgel powder hydrophobically modified porous surface of the airgel It may be an airgel powder, and is not limited to a specific kind of silica airgel powder.

특히, 상기 소수성 실리카에어로겔은 공기 중의 수분 흡수가 방지되도록 소수성으로 표면처리된 실리카 에어로겔을 의미하는 것으로서, 소수성 표면처리는 종래 이 기술분야에 알려져 있는 어떠한 방법으로 행하여질 수 있다. 이로써 특히 한정하는 것은 아니지만, 예를 들어, 실릴화 처리된 실리카에어로겔 등이 사용될 수 있다.In particular, the hydrophobic silica aerogel refers to a silica airgel hydrophobically surface-treated to prevent water absorption in the air, hydrophobic surface treatment can be carried out by any method known in the art. Although not particularly limited thereto, for example, a silylated silica aerogel may be used.

The alcohol is preferably further included when the viscosity of the airgel aqueous dispersion composition is 1000 cps or less.

나아가, 본 발명의 에어로겔 수분산 조성물은 필요한 경우 계면활성제, 경화제, 증점제 및 소포제로 이루어진 그룹으로부터 선택된 적어도 하나의 기타 첨가제를 추가로 포함할 수 있다. 기타 첨가제는 에어로겔 수분산 조성물 100 중량부를 기준으로 0.01 내지 100 중량부의 양으로 포함되는 것이 바람직하다. Furthermore, the airgel water dispersion composition of the present invention may further comprise at least one other additive selected from the group consisting of surfactants, curing agents, thickeners and antifoaming agents, if necessary. Other additives are preferably included in an amount of 0.01 to 100 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the airgel aqueous dispersion composition.

한편, 상기와 같은 본 발명의 에어로겔 수분산 조성물은 물 및 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)를 혼합하여 겔 상태의 수용액을 제조하는 단계, 및 에어로겔 분말을 추가하고 교반을 수반하여 혼합하는 단계를 포함하여 제조될 수 있으며, 상기와 같은 방법에 의해 에어로겔 분말이 균일하게 분산된 에어로겔 수분산 조성물을 획득할 수 있다.On the other hand, the airgel water dispersion composition of the present invention as described above is prepared by mixing water and superabsorbent polymer (SAP) to prepare an aqueous solution in a gel state, and adding the airgel powder and mixing with stirring It may be, by the method as described above it can obtain an airgel water dispersion composition in which the airgel powder is uniformly dispersed.

본 발명의 에어로겔 수분산 조성물의 제조 과정 중 상기 교반은 상기 에어로겔 수분산 조성물의 점도가 100 이상 5000 cp 미만인 경우 3000 내지 10000 rpm에서 수행되는 것이 바람직하며, 상기 에어로겔 수분산 조성물의 점도가 5000 cp 이상인 경우 500 내지 30000rpm에서 수행되는 것이 바람직하며, 이때 최소 3분 이상 혼합하는 것이 더욱 바람직하다. rpm이 상기 범위보다 높거나 혼합 시간이 상기 범위보다 길어지는 것은 무방하나 rpm이 상기 범위보다 낮은 경우에는 혼합에 어려움이 생길 수 있다.In the preparation of the airgel dispersion composition of the present invention, the agitation is preferably performed at 3000 to 10000 rpm when the viscosity of the airgel dispersion composition is 100 or more and less than 5000 cps, and the viscosity of the airgel dispersion composition is 5000 cps or more.

상기와 같이 본 발명에 의하면 에어로겔 분말이 매우 안정적으로 분산되어 분산성이 우수한 에어로겔 수분산 조성물을 획득할 수 있으며, 이러한 본 발명의 에어로겔 수분산 조성물은 매우 장시간 동안에도 상분리가 일어나지 않는다. 또한, 본 발명의 에어로겔 분말의 수분산 조성물이 건조된 후에는 에어로겔 분말과 미량의 고흡수성 폴리머(SAP)만 잔류하게 되며, 이러한 고흡수성 폴리머는 중량의 관점에서 일반 바인더용 혼합제에 비해 매우 미량이고, 나아가 특히 부피의 관점에서 극히 미량이므로 에어로겔 분말의 물성 및 특성에 거의 영향을 미치지 않는다.As described above, according to the present invention, the airgel powder is dispersed very stably to obtain an airgel dispersion composition having excellent dispersibility. The airgel dispersion composition of the present invention does not undergo phase separation even for a very long time. In addition, after the water dispersion composition of the airgel powder of the present invention is dried, only the airgel powder and a small amount of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) remain, and the superabsorbent polymer is very small compared to the general binder mixture in terms of weight. Furthermore, since the trace amount is extremely small in terms of volume, it hardly affects the physical properties and properties of the airgel powder.

본 발명의 에어로겔 단열 조성물은 상기와 같이 획득된 에어로겔 수분산 조성물에 섬유상 단열재료 및 무기 바인더를 혼합하여 제조될 수 있다. 보다 상세하게 상기 에어로겔 수분산 조성물에 벌크 상태의 섬유상 단열 재료 및 무기바인더를 위에 언급한 비율로 혼합하여 20,000 rpm~30,000 rpm 속도로 10에서 20분 동안 교반하여 섬유성 단열재료가 충분히 혼합되도록 할 수 있다.The airgel heat insulating composition of the present invention may be prepared by mixing a fibrous heat insulating material and an inorganic binder with the airgel water dispersion composition obtained as described above. More specifically, the airgel water dispersion composition may be mixed with the fibrous insulating material and the inorganic binder in the above-mentioned ratio and stirred for 10 to 20 minutes at a speed of 20,000 rpm to 30,000 rpm to allow the fibrous insulating material to be sufficiently mixed. have.

나아가, 본 발명에 사용될 수 있는 상기 바인더는 물유리, 실리카졸, 시멘트, 황토 및 인산염 바인더로 이루어진 그룹으로부터 선택되는 무기 바인더인 것이 바람직하다. 보다 바람직하게는 물유리 또는 실리카졸을 사용한다. 본 발명은 고온에 취약한 유기 바인더 대신 무기 바인더를 사용함으로써 고온 내구성이 향상된 에어로겔 시트를 획득할 수 있다. Further, the binder that can be used in the present invention is preferably an inorganic binder selected from the group consisting of water glass, silica sol, cement, loess and phosphate binder. More preferably water glass or silica sol is used. The present invention can obtain an airgel sheet having improved high temperature durability by using an inorganic binder instead of an organic binder vulnerable to high temperature.

한편, 본 발명에 사용될 수 있는 상기 섬유상 단열재료는 유리섬유, 실리카 섬유, 세라믹섬유, 탄소섬유 등으로부터 선택되는 적어도 하나이며, 바람직하게는 뛰어난 단열성능과 인체에 무해한 세라믹섬유를 사용한다. On the other hand, the fibrous heat insulating material that can be used in the present invention is at least one selected from glass fiber, silica fiber, ceramic fiber, carbon fiber and the like, preferably using excellent heat insulating performance and ceramic fibers harmless to the human body.

본 발명에 의하면 상술한 바와 같이 유기 바인더 대신 무기 바인더를 사용하며 고온 내구성이 향상되나, 무기 바인더의 특성상 연성 및 성형성이 저하될 수 있으므로, 본 발명의 에어로겔 단열 조성물층은 섬유상 단열재료를 추가로 포함함으로써 연성이 우수한 에어로겔 시트의 획득이 가능하도록 한다. According to the present invention, the inorganic binder is used instead of the organic binder as described above, and the high temperature durability is improved, but the ductility and moldability of the inorganic binder may be deteriorated. Thus, the airgel insulating composition layer of the present invention may further include a fibrous insulating material. It is possible to obtain an airgel sheet having excellent ductility by including.

상기 본 발명의 에어로겔 시트에 있어서, 상기 에어로겔 단열 조성물층은 건조 후 0.2mm 내지 2mm인 것이 바람직하며, 보다 바람직하게는 0.5mm 내지 1mm 이하인 것이다. 상기 에어로겔 단열 조성물층이 0.2mm 미만인 경우에는 최종 에어로겔 시트에 있어서 에어로겔 단열 조성물층에 의한 단열 효과가 미미한 경향이 있으며, 2mm를 초과하는 경우에는 두께 증가로 인해 물성의 차이가 커지므로 건조 시 에어로겔 단열 조성물층 표면에 균열이 발생하여 생산력을 떨어지고 패턴 성형 시 누르는 압력에 대한 반발력이 강해져서 성형성을 떨어뜨리는 문제가 있다. In the airgel sheet of the present invention, the airgel heat insulating composition layer is preferably 0.2mm to 2mm after drying, more preferably 0.5mm to 1mm or less. When the airgel insulation composition layer is less than 0.2mm, the heat insulation effect by the airgel insulation composition layer tends to be insignificant in the final airgel sheet, and when the airgel insulation layer exceeds 2mm, the difference in physical properties increases due to the increase in thickness. Cracks occur on the surface of the composition layer, resulting in a decrease in productivity and a strong repulsive force against the pressing pressure during pattern forming, thereby degrading formability.

상기 에어로겔 시트는 박막 지지체가 적층되지 않은 에어로겔 단열 조성물층의 타면에 직물층이 추가로 형성될 수 있다. The airgel sheet may be further formed with a fabric layer on the other surface of the airgel heat insulating composition layer is not laminated to the thin film support.

이때, 상기 직물층은 10-40㎛ 두께의 층으로 직조된 것이면 특히 제한되는 것은 아니다. 예를 들어, 유리섬유, 실리카 섬유 등의 무기섬유로 이루어진 글라스천, 실리카천 등을 사용할 수 있다. 이와 같이 추가의 직물층이 형성되는 경우에는 성형 시에 발생하는 미세 분진의 날림을 방지하고, 건조 시 표면에 미세한 균열의 발생을 억제하며, 취급이 용이해질 수 있다.At this time, the fabric layer is not particularly limited as long as it is a woven layer of 10-40㎛ thickness. For example, glass cloth, silica cloth, etc. which consist of inorganic fibers, such as glass fiber and a silica fiber, can be used. Thus, when the additional fabric layer is formed, it is possible to prevent the blowing of fine dust generated during molding, to suppress the occurrence of fine cracks on the surface during drying, and to facilitate handling.

한편, 본 발명의 상기 에어로겔 시트는 두 층 이상의 금속 박막 및 두 층 이상의 에어로겔 단열 조성물층이 교대로 적층된 것일 수 있으며, 바람직하게는 이와 같은 적층체의 최상층 및 최하층은 금속 박막으로 이루어지는 것이다. 예를 들어, 금속 박막 및 에어로겔 단열 조성물층이 2회 이상 반복하여 교대로 적층되고, 마지막으로 외부로 노출된 에어로겔 단열 조성물층 상에 추가의 금속 박막이 적층될 수 있다. On the other hand, the airgel sheet of the present invention may be a laminate of two or more layers of metal thin film and two or more layers of airgel heat insulating composition, preferably the top layer and the bottom layer of such a laminate is made of a metal thin film. For example, the metal thin film and the airgel insulating composition layer may be alternately laminated two or more times, and finally, the additional metal thin film may be laminated on the externally exposed airgel insulating composition layer.

나아가, 본 발명의 상기 에어로겔 시트는 망사 조직체를 추가로 포함하여 보다 뛰어난 연성 및 내구성을 가지는 시트로 제작될 수 있다. 보다 상세하게, 단열 조성물층이 상기 망사 조직체를 포함하도록 형성될 수 있으며, 이를 위해 박막 지지체 상에 에어로겔 단열 조성물층을 도포하기 전 망사 조직체를 배치한 후 에어로겔 단열 조성물을 도포할 수 있다.Furthermore, the airgel sheet of the present invention may further be made of a sheet having a superior ductility and durability by further including a mesh tissue. More specifically, the heat insulating composition layer may be formed to include the mesh structure, and for this purpose, the airgel insulating composition may be applied after the network structure is disposed before the airgel insulating composition layer is applied onto the thin film support.

이때, 상기 망사 조직체는 바람직하게는 유리섬유 등과 같은 무기섬유로 이루어지는 것이며, 상기 무기섬유의 평균 직경은 30 내지 100㎛인 것이 바람직하고, 다만 의도하는 에어로겔 단열 조성물층의 두께 미만인 것을 사용한다.At this time, the mesh structure is preferably made of inorganic fibers, such as glass fibers, the average diameter of the inorganic fibers is preferably 30 to 100㎛, but using less than the thickness of the intended airgel insulating composition layer.
