Effect of KH550 modification on SiC dispersion, pore structure, and thermal insulation in PVA/colloidal silica composite aerogels.
Thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries has created a growing demand for lightweight thermal-barrier materials that combine low thermal conductivity, flame retardancy, and mechanical stability. In this work, KH550-modified silicon carbide (SiC) was incorporated into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/nano-silica sol particle (...
