Technical Field
The invention relates to a technology for preparing organic hybrid silica aerogel.
Background
Solid phase micro-extraction is a novel sample pretreatment technology which has been developed in the nineties of the last century, compared with the traditional sample pretreatment technology, the method has the advantages of no need of organic solvent, simple and convenient operation, low cost, strong enrichment capacity, rapidness, high efficiency, easy combination with a chromatographic instrument and the like, can integrate sampling, extraction, concentration and sample introduction, and is applied to the fields of environmental analysis, food detection, pesticide residue, medicine detection and analysis and the like. The core of solid phase microextraction is an extraction coating, and the performance of the extraction coating limits the extraction efficiency. Therefore, the preparation of the extraction material with higher extraction performance, and the preparation of the extraction material with higher specific surface area, excellent mechanical strength and excellent stability is an important research direction of solid-phase microextraction research. The fiber which is commercialized has the defects that quartz fiber is fragile, the extraction performance of a coating is poor, and the like, and the extraction fiber which is mainly developed at present is a coating with excellent extraction performance which is modified on the surface of a metal wire.
The aerogel is a solid material with a space network structure formed by leaving a large number of gaps in the gel after a large amount of solvents and byproducts in the gel are removed, has a high specific surface area, and has been widely researched and applied in the fields of heat insulation and adsorption. The aerogel is divided into inorganic aerogel and organic aerogel according to chemical compositions, the inorganic aerogel is good in stability but poor in mechanical strength, the organic aerogel is excellent in mechanical strength but poor in temperature resistance, and organic-inorganic hybridization is an important means for effectively improving respective defects. Silica aerogel was the earliest developed aerogel and poor mechanical strength was the main factor hindering its development. Organic hybridization can effectively improve the defect of poor mechanical strength of silica aerogel, and researches have been made on bonding short-chain alkane onto the silica aerogel, wherein the long-chain alkyl chain is also physically doped or is used as a terminal carbon chain to hybridize the silica aerogel, so that the mechanical strength is remarkably improved. However, the stability of the hybrid aerogel physically doped or bonded with terminal carbon chains is still to be improved, and the long carbon chain coupling agent is embedded into the silica aerogel in a manner of bonding two ends, so that the mechanical strength is effectively enhanced and the adsorption and extraction capacity is improved. According to the invention, the long carbon chain coupling agent with trimethoxy silane at two ends is formed by reacting amino silane and chloro silane, and the two ends are embedded into the silica aerogel through chemical bonding, so that the high-performance organic hybrid silica aerogel is obtained.
