(2) fully mixing the aerogel fiber short fibers and the polyester fibers in the step (1) by adopting an opener and a lapping machine to obtain a loose flocculus material with a certain shape;

(3) and (3) putting the flocculus material in the step (2) into a high-temperature oven, and heating and shaping for 36 hours at the temperature of 60 ℃ to obtain the flocculus-shaped aerogel fiber filling material with the photothermal-thermoelectric composite function, wherein the apparent density, the compression strength, the compression rebound ratio, the contact angle and the thermal conductivity coefficient of the flocculus-shaped aerogel fiber filling material are shown in table 1.

The preparation of the aerogel fiber filling material in this embodiment includes the following steps:

(1) selecting carbon nanotube-polypropylene aerogel fibers with the porosity of 67% and the triangular cross section as a main body material, and preparing the aerogel fibers into short fibers with the length of about 3 cm;

(2) fully mixing the aerogel fiber short fibers and polyacrylate obtained in the step (1) by using an opener and a lapping machine to obtain a loose flocculus material with a certain shape;

(3) and (3) putting the flocculus material in the step (2) into a high-temperature oven, and heating and shaping for 5min at the temperature of 180 ℃ to obtain the high-strength electrothermal composite function flocculus aerogel fiber filling material, wherein the apparent density, the compression strength, the compression rebound ratio, the contact angle and the thermal conductivity coefficient of the high-strength electrothermal composite function flocculus aerogel fiber filling material are shown in table 1.

In addition, the inventor also refers to the mode of example 1-example 9, and experiments are carried out by using other raw materials and conditions listed in the specification, and the aerogel fiber filling material which has good dimensional stability, certain mechanical strength and can meet the practical application condition is also prepared. These aerogel fibrous packing materials have also been found to have the excellent properties described herein.

Comparative example 1

The preparation of an aerogel fibrous packing material of this comparative example included the following steps:

(1) selecting polyamide aerogel fibers as a main body material, and preparing the aerogel fibers into short fibers with the length of about 3 cm;

(2) fully mixing the aerogel fiber short fibers and the polyester fibers in the step (1) by adopting an opener and a lapping machine to obtain a loose flocculus material with a certain shape;

the mechanical strength of the aerogel fiber filler is obviously reduced compared with that of the aerogel fiber filler in example 1, and the apparent density, the compression rebound ratio, the contact angle and the thermal conductivity coefficient of the aerogel fiber filler are shown in table 1.
