Abstract

N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is used as a drying inhibitor to prepare ZrO2 aerogels. The properties were investigated and the result reflected that adding DMF can get bulk aerogels with better mechanical strength (0.51 MPa), lower density (0.38 g/cm3), lower thermal conductivity (0.024 W·m-1·K-1), and higher specific surface area (123.46 m2/g) after heat treatment. Its performance as a drying inhibitor is better than that of formamide (FA). It indicates that DMF can be used as a drying inhibitor to prepare zirconia aerogel with excellent thermal stability and mechanical strength.
