A method for synthesizing a pre-hydrolyzed polysilicate, wherein a polysilicate is applied as a reactant when synthesizing the pre-hydrolyzed polysilicate, and the total amount of water added in the reaction system is specified. The method is capable of omitting a condensation reaction by applying a polysilicate as a reactant, thereby significantly shortening synthesis time and reducing production costs when compared with a typical synthesis method in which alkoxysilane-based monomer compound is used as a reactant. In addition, the gelation reaction time and the weight average molecular weight can be easily controlled, and a pre-hydrolyzed polysilicate excellent in storage stability and processability can be synthesized.

Method for synthesizing pre-hydrolyzed polysilicate

Provided is a silica aerogel blanket capable of preventing deterioration of heat insulating performance while reducing dust generation, and method for manufacturing the same. The method manufactures a low-dust silica aerogel blanket by separately adding a silica sol to prevent an opacifying agent from being exposed to the surface of the silica aerogel blanket.

Low-dust silica aerogel blanket and method for manufacturing same

Provided is a method for manufacturing an aerogel blanket having improved processability by reducing manufacturing time and cost, the method including the steps of mixing a precursor material, an acid catalyst and a hydrous alcohol to prepare a sol, depositing a substrate in the sol, and reacting with a gaseous silazane-based compound to form a gel and to perform aging and surface modification reaction simultaneously to form a wet gel blanket, and drying the wet gel blanket to manufacture an aerogel blanket.

The present invention relates to a two-step synthesis method of a pre-hydrolyzed alkyl polysilicate. In the method, a silica precursor hydrated to 90 to 100% is added to maximize a condensation reaction rate, and a silica precursor hydrated to 25 to 70% is additionally added to terminate a condensation reaction, so that a condensation reaction time may be remarkably shortened relative to a conventional one-step synthesis method and may be shortened even without the use of a condensation catalyst, so that the catalyst purchase cost and the catalyst separation step in the process may not be required, thus having a simple process and reducing the production cost. Also, the amount and time point of the silica precursor additionally added may be controlled, thereby easily controlling the gelation reaction time and the weight average molecular weight, and synthesizing the pre-hydrolyzed alkyl polysilicate excellent in storage stability and processabilty.
