Abstract:

C-Al2O3 nanocomposites were synthesized via the sol-gel tri-constituent co-assembly process using an amphiphilic triblock copolymer F127 (PEO106PPO70PEO106, MW=12600) as a template, aluminum iso-propoxide as an inorganic source, and resol as an organic precursor. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption were used to characterize the structures and properties. The results showed that the nanocomposite MC5A5 has ordered mesoporous structures with a high specific surface area of 175 m2·g-1 and a pore volume of 0.22 cm3·g-1. Low infrared emissivity coatings were obtained using the ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) as an adhesive and the ordered mesoporous C-Al2O3 nanocomposites as a filling. As the mass percentage of Al2O3 was increased from 30% to 70%, the infrared emissivity decreased from 0.575 to 0.456. Al2O3 can effectively reduce the infrared emissivities of nanocomposites. Ordered mesoporous C-Al2O3 nanocomposites are thus promising for application in martial equipment.
