Abstract

A production method for an aerogel laminate includes a step of preparing a sol of producing a sol for forming an aerogel, an applying step of applying the sol obtained in the step of preparing a sol to a support having a heat ray reflective function or a heat ray absorbing function, and drying the sol to form an aerogel layer, an aging step of aging the aerogel layer obtained in the applying step, a washing step of washing the aged aerogel layer and performing solvent exchange, and a drying step of drying the aerogel layer washed in the washing step.

Claims (14)

1. A production method for an aerogel with a heat ray reflective function or a heat ray absorbing function, comprising:

a step of preparing a sol for forming an aerogel, the sol containing a polysiloxane compound having a structure expressed by the following Formula (4) or (5):

wherein in Formula (4), R 9 represents a hydroxyalkyl group, R 10 represents an alkylene group, R 11 and R 12 each independently represent an alkyl group or an aryl group, and n represents an integer of 1 to 50,

wherein in Formula (5), R 14 represents an alkyl group, R 15 and R 16 each independently represent an alkoxy group, R 17 and R 18 each independently represent an alkyl group or an aryl group, and m represents an integer of 1 to 50;

an applying step of applying the sol obtained in the step of preparing a sol to a support having a heat ray reflective function or a heat ray absorbing function, and drying the sol to form an aerogel layer provided on the support having the heat ray reflective function or the heat ray absorbing function;

an aging step of aging the aerogel layer obtained in the applying step;

a washing step of washing the aged aerogel layer and performing solvent exchange; and

a drying step of drying the aerogel layer washed in the washing step.

2. The production method according to claim 1 , wherein the aerogel layer formed by the applying step is a layer prepared by drying a wet gel formed from a sol containing at least one selected from the group consisting of polysiloxane compounds having a reactive group in the molecule and hydrolysis products of the polysiloxane compounds.

3. The production method according to claim 1 , wherein the aerogel layer formed by the applying step is a layer prepared by drying a wet gel formed from a sol containing silica particles.

4. The production method according to claim 3 , wherein an average primary particle diameter of the silica particles is 1 nm or more and 500 nm or less.

5. The production method according to claim 1 , wherein the support has a layer composed of a material comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of carbon graphite, aluminum, magnesium, silver, titanium, carbon black, metal sulfates, and antimony compounds.

6. The production method according to claim 1 , wherein the support is an aluminum foil, an aluminum deposited film, a silver deposited film, or an antimony oxide containing film.

7. The production method according to claim 1 , wherein the aerogel layer formed by the applying step has a thickness of 1 to 200 μm.
