The graphene aerogel is an aerogel newly developed in recent years, and has the unique advantages of low density, high specific surface area, large pore volume, high conductivity, good thermal stability, controllable structure and the like. In 2013, the subject group of Zhejiang polymer professor with high molecular weight was manufactured to have a density as low as 0.16mg/cm 3 Is currently the lightest solid material known in the world.
The graphene aerogel is applied to the epoxy resin, and a plurality of reports are provided for improving the performance of the epoxy resin.
The invention patent of application publication number CN106082202A discloses a preparation method and application of graphene aerogel, wherein a mixture of epoxy resin and a curing agent is poured into a mold containing the graphene aerogel, and the graphene aerogel is fully soaked in the mixture and then is heated and cured to obtain the graphene aerogel/epoxy resin composite material with high conductivity and mechanical property.
The invention patent of application publication number CN108276983A discloses a preparation method of a graphene aerogel epoxy resin composite fracturing propping agent, and the preparation method comprises the steps of mixing epoxy resin and a curing agent, adding the obtained graphene aerogel balls, and carrying out impregnation, degassing and curing on the obtained mixture to obtain the graphene aerogel composite fracturing propping agent.
The research on the modification of graphene oxide aerogel to enhance and toughen epoxy resin (plastics industry 2018, volume 46, stage 6) reports that graphene oxide aerogel is prepared by a sol-gel method, and then a mixture of epoxy resin and a curing agent is poured into the formed graphene oxide aerogel and cured to obtain the graphene oxide aerogel.
The graphene aerogel epoxy resin composite material prepared by the method is prepared by firstly preparing the graphene aerogel and then mixing and curing the graphene aerogel with epoxy resin, and the method has the following defects: the preparation method has the advantages of long time (freeze drying is needed, the freeze drying time is long), high equipment requirement (the freeze drying equipment which can be industrially applied has high requirements on freeze drying, and the freeze drying requirements continuously provide a low-temperature environment), expensive equipment and high cost, so that the graphene aerogel cannot be industrially produced in a large scale. Therefore, the graphene aerogel epoxy resin composite material cannot be produced in a large scale in industry.
