    摘要: An objective of the present invention is to provide a pipe through which fluids can flow, in which thermal insulation in a space between an inner wall and an outer wall is achieved at low cost and high performance. The thermal insulation pipe of the present invention is a thermal insulation pipe formed by a double wall pipe of an inner pipe and an outer pipe. A thermal-insulating material to be filled in a space between the inner pipe and the outer pipe is made from an aerogel having a three-dimensional network structure with a framework constituted by a cluster of aggregation of primary particles. The thermal-insulating material includes fine particles having a three-dimensional network structure with a framework of the primary particles. A preferred form of such a thermal-insulating material is weakly bonded aerogel ultrafine particle generated by crushing at ultra-high speed a low-binding ultrafine aerogel generated from an aerogel with aging conditions during manufacturing process set to a low temperature and short time period.

    摘要: A manufacturing method of an aerogel powder of the present invention includes: a mixing process of mixing a silicon alkoxide (TEOS (tetraethoxysilane)) and a solvent (methanol) to form a sol on hydrolysis; a gelling process of gelling the sol obtained in the mixing process; an aging process of aging the gel obtained in the gelling process to obtain a wet gel (alkogel); a solvent exchanging process of replacing the solvent of the wet gel with a predetermined replacement solvent (hexane); a modifying process of modifying a surface of a network structure of the wet gel with a predetermined organic group using TMCS; a process of washing the modified wet gel obtained in the wet gel generating process; drying the washed and modified wet gel; and crushing the dried, washed and modified wet gel. It is possible to provide aerogel powder with reduced manufacturing cost per unit bulk volume and excellent in thermal insulation.
