Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A thermal insulation sheet is used that includes a fiber, a silica aerogel contained in the fiber, and a fibrous cavity. A method for manufacturing a thermal insulation sheet is used that includes: an impregnation step of impregnating a silica aerosol in a nonwoven fabric substrate containing a fiber that is insoluble in an acidic solution, and a fiber that is soluble in the acidic solution; a gelling step of gelling the silica aerosol; a hydrophobizing step of hydrophobizing the gel; and a drying step of drying the gel. The fiber that is soluble in the acidic solution is dissolved in the hydrophobizing step.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a thermal insulation sheet, the method comprising: an impregnation step of impregnating a silica aerosol solution in a nonwoven fabric substrate containing a first fiber that is insoluble in an acidic solution, and a second fiber that is soluble in the acidic solution; a gelling step of gelling the silica aerosol solution; a hydrophobizing step of hydrophobizing the gel; and a drying step of drying the gel, the second fiber being dissolved in the hydrophobizing step. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second fiber is at least one of nylon, rayon, cupra, acetate, vinylon, and cotton. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second fiber has a diameter or 0.2 mm or less, and a length that is at least twice as long as the diameter. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second fiber has a diameter of 0.01 mm or more.
