Predicting Thermal Conductivity of Fiber-reinforced Aerogel Composite Materials

SiO2 aerogel composites with nano-scale structure and very low thermal conductivity have widely been used in aeronautics and astronautics,construction and other industries for thermal insulations.The research de-velopment in the conductive thermal conductivity of the SiO2 aerogel composites are reviewed according to the various distribution modes of reinforced fibers in aerogel matrix.Based on the calculation methods of the extinction coefficients of aerogels and fiber reinforcements,the advances in the radiative thermal conductivity of the SiO2 aerogel composites are demonstrated.The existing difficulties in predicting the effective thermal conductivity of the SiO2 aerogel compo-sites are generalized relevant to the cross scale,multiphase,classification and interconnection in the fiber-reinforced SiO2 aerogel composites.The perspective of the accurate prediction of the effective thermal conductivity of SiO2 aero-gel composites is also proposed involving a newly developed method - lattice Boltzmann method.
