Thermal diffusivity measurements are conducted using the laser flash, and for mechanical performance, cold crushing tests are done to obtain compressive strengths. Samples possess a range of specific surface area (SSA) values up to similar to 650 m2/g contingent upon the material state, that is, polymeric, hybrid, or ceramic. While SSA values can be deliberately altered, almost all samples demonstrated a total porosity of similar to 90 vol%, with superb specific compressive strength reaching around 2 MPa. In addition to adjustable surface characteristics granting hydrophobic and hydrophilic features, the study revealed the potential use of these foam-aerogel composites as thermal insulators with low thermal conductivities of 0.02 W<middle dot>m-1<middle dot>K-1 at RT and 0.05 W<middle dot>m-1<middle dot>K-1 at 500 degrees C. When exposed directly to a butane flame gun with a flame temperature reaching similar to 1200 degrees C, from the backside of a 5 mm-thick foam-aerogel composite, only similar to 200 degrees C is recorded, which is lower than a comparable commercial insulator panel tested under the same conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Design and Performance Comparison of Polymer-Derived Ceramic Ambigels and Aerogels(American Chemical Society, 2023) Soraru, Gian Domenico; İçin, Öykü; Semerci, Tuğçe; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar VakıfThis work reports the synthesis and characterization of preceramic-and polymer-derived SiOC aerogels obtained from a commercial siloxane resin. The preceramic aerogels were obtained by ambient pressure drying (ambigels) and CO2 supercritical drying. Despite different drying processes, the final ceramic ambi/aerogels have very similar microstructural features in density, porosity, pore size, and specific surface area. Both materials have shown promising results for oil sorption and water cleaning. Supercritically dried-SiOC aerogel had low thermal conductivity with 0.046 W.m(-1).K-1 at RT and 0.073 W.m(-1).K-1 at 500 degrees C. These results suggest that substituting the rather complicated and expensive CO2-SC drying with the more friendly and cheap ambient pressure drying can be done without having to accept significant microstructural/property degradation.Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 39Processing and Thermal Characterization of Polymer Derived Sicn(o) and Sioc Reticulated Foams(Elsevier, 2020) Santhosh, Balanand; Ionescu, Emanuel; Reitz, Emanuel; Albert, Barbara; Sorarù, Gian Domenico; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar VakıfHighly porous polymer-derived SiCN(O) and SiOC ceramics with low thermal conductivity were developed by replicating polyurethane (PU) foams. The PU templates were impregnated with polysilazane or polysiloxane precursor, followed by pyrolysis at different temperatures (1200 °C - 1500 °C) yielding SiCN(O) or SiOC ceramic foams, respectively. The swelling and cross-linking behavior of the used precursors had a significant impact on the morphology of the prepared foams. The samples had bulk densities ranging from 0.03 g.cm-3 to 0.56 g.cm-3 and a total porosity in the range from 75 to 98 vol%. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to follow the structural evolution together with morphological characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained ceramics were thermally stable up to 1400 °C, and the linear thermal expansion coefficient values of the porous SiCN(O) and SiOC components in the temperature range from 30 to 850 °C were found to be ~1.72 x 10-6.K-1 and ~1.93 x 10-6.K-1, respectively. Thermal conductivity (?) as low as 0.03 W.m-1 K-1 was measured for the SiCN(O) and SiOC foams at room temperature (RT). The ? of the ceramic struts were also assessed by using the Gibson-Ashby model and estimated to be 2.1 W.m-1 K-1 for SiCN(O), and 1.8 W.m-1 K-1 for SiOC. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
