Abstract:

Microporous aluminosilicates ZSM-5, ordered mesostructured materials MCM-41, SBA-15, MAS-5 were synthesized in hydrothermal system. Then, these nanoparticles were electrostatically modified with linear cationic polymer agent. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. Surface area was determined by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) equation; pore size distribution and pore volume were measured by Barrett-Joyner-Halonda(BJH) method. Samples for thermal conductivity measurements were prepared by pressing powders into disks. The thermal conductivity of well-ordered mesoporous MCM-41 is as low as 0.038 W·m-1·K-1. The thermal conductivity of MAS-5 is 0.035 W·m-1·K-1. The thermal conductivities of modified MCM-41 and MAS-5 deereased to 0.028 and 0.017 W·m-1·K-1 respectively. Theoretical analysis and experimental results simultaneously explain that materials with smaller pore size or higher porosity demonstrate better properties of thermal insulation; thermal conductivities of ordered mesoporous materials associate with wall thickness, pore size and porosity.
