Modified glass bubble reduced graphene oxide composite aerogels with low thermal conductivity are a type of advanced material with promising applications in thermal insulation. Here’s a brief overview of the key components and properties:
- Glass Bubbles: Glass bubbles are hollow glass microspheres that are lightweight and have low thermal conductivity. They are often used as fillers in composites to reduce weight and improve thermal insulation properties.
- Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO): Graphene oxide is a derivative of graphene, consisting of oxygen-functionalized graphene sheets. Reduced graphene oxide is produced by reducing graphene oxide, which restores some of its electrical and thermal conductivity properties.
- Composite Aerogels: Aerogels are highly porous materials with low density and thermal conductivity. By incorporating glass bubbles and reduced graphene oxide into the aerogel matrix, the composite aerogel can benefit from the low thermal conductivity of both materials.
- Modification: The modification of the glass bubbles and graphene oxide can involve surface functionalization to improve their compatibility with the aerogel matrix and enhance the overall properties of the composite.
- Low Thermal Conductivity: The combination of glass bubbles and reduced graphene oxide in the aerogel matrix can result in a composite material with low thermal conductivity, making it suitable for applications requiring thermal insulation.
