Abstract

The physical properties and microstructural changes with heat-treatment of opacified silica aerogels doped by TiO2 were investigated. Monolithic SiO2-TiO2 aerogels were prepared by supercritical drying (25$0^{\circ}C$, 1250 psig) of wet gel obtained by adding titanium isopropoxide to prehydrolyzed TEOS-isopropanol solutions. The density and the porosity of SiO2-10 mol% TiO2 aerogels were 0.23 g/㎤ and 90%, respectively. During supercritical drying, the linear shrinkage of aerogels increased with increase in the titanium content an TiO2 was transformed to the anatase phase as well as particls agglomerates led to TiO2 clusters of 100~800 nm dispersed homogeneoulsy in the silica matrix. The IR transmittance of opacified silica aerogels was very low in the region of wavelengths below 8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ compared with pure silica aerogels and SiO2-TiO2 aerogels showed the high thermal stability of microstructures up to $600^{\circ}C$.

티타니아가 첨가된 불투명한 실리카 에어로겔의 물성 및 열처리에 따른 미세구조 변화가 연구되었다. 부분가수 분해된 TEOS-이소프로판을 용액에 titanium isopropoxide를 첨가한후 겔화시킨 습윤겔을 초임계건조(25$0^{\circ}C$, 1250 psig)하여 모노리스 타입 에어로겔을 합성하였으며, SiO2-10 mol% TiO2 에어로겔의 밀도와 기공율은 각각 0.23 g/㎤와 90% 이었다. 초임계건조시 티타늄의 함량이 증가함에 따라 수축율이 증가할 뿐만 아니라 티타니아는 anatase 상으로 상전이됨과 동시에 입자 응집에 의해 100~800nm 크기의 cluster로 에어로겔 내에 균일하게 분포되었다. 불투명한 에어로겔은 8$mu extrm{m}$ 이하의 적외 영역에서 순수 실리카 에어로겔에 비하여 매우 낮은 광투과율과 $600^{\circ}C$까지 높은 미세구조 안정성을 보여주었다.
