Abstract:
The objective of the present invention is to provide a thermal insulator which is higher in strength and is excellent in a thermal insulating property. The present invention relates to a thermal insulator 10 formed by bonding a plurality of aerogel particles 1 with at least one adhesive portion 2. Surfaces of the plurality of aerogel particles 1 are hydrophobic. The surfaces of the plurality of aerogel particles 1 are treated with a surfactant. The at least one adhesive portion 2 includes a branching structure section that extends over surfaces of at least three of the plurality of aerogel particles.
Abstract:
Provided is a heat-insulating molding compound from which a heat-insulating molded article having high strength and excellent thermal insulating properties can be produced. The compound is formed by crushing an aerogel particle coated with an adhesive.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to propose heat insulating structure which is excellent in thermal insulating properties and higher in strength. The heat insulating structure includes: an aerogel layer including aerogel particles, adhesive, and fibers; and a retainer which is provided to at least one face of the aerogel layer and includes fiber materials and binder resin. Each of the fibers is part of one of the fiber materials included in the retainer.
Abstract:
Provided is a heat-insulating molded article of high strength and exceptional heat insulating proprieties. The compound is molded by mixing first aerogel particles coated with adhesives, and second aerogel particles not coated with the adhesives.
