In order to solve all or part of the technical problems, the invention provides the following technical scheme:
a first aspect of the invention provides a transferable liquid confinement type aerogel film comprising:
An aerogel film;
And a liquid material which is filled in the aerogel film in a saturated manner, forms a saturated filling liquid layer on the surface of the aerogel film, and has a viscosity of 500 mPa-s or less and a static contact angle with the aerogel film of 40 DEG or less.
According to the invention, the liquid material with low viscosity (below 500 mPa s) and good wettability is filled in the aerogel film to form the saturated filling liquid layer, so that the obtained liquid confinement type aerogel film has good transferability and can be attached to the surfaces of substrates with various materials and various shapes. It is noted that the surface of the liquid confinement aerogel film needs to be guaranteed to be filled with a saturated liquid layer to form a 'liquid submerged' structure, so that good transfer performance can be guaranteed. And if the viscosity of the liquid material is too high, the film is difficult to transfer smoothly, and if the static contact angle of the liquid material and the aerogel film is too high, the functional liquid is difficult to infiltrate the film material, the film is difficult to transfer completely, and the film is easy to break.
In some embodiments, the aerogel film comprises an aramid aerogel film, a cellulose aerogel film, a polyimide aerogel film, or a silica aerogel film.
In a partially preferred embodiment, the aerogel film is an aramid aerogel film. The surface of the aramid aerogel film is provided with a large amount of static electricity, when the aramid aerogel film is transferred to a target substrate, an ultrathin film is difficult to be integrally and co-molded on the surface of the substrate due to the action of the static electricity, the aramid aerogel film is filled with a liquid material with the viscosity of less than 500 mPa s and the static contact angle with the aerogel film of less than 40 degrees, the selected liquid material needs to have excellent solid-liquid interface wettability with the aramid aerogel film and is saturated and filled with a porous to form a 'liquid submerged' structure, namely, the surface of a solid porous material can be similar to the surface tension polarity of the liquid material, but the liquid material cannot have obvious damage or swelling effect on an aerogel framework, so that the liquid material has the characteristic of being capable of being integrally and efficiently transferred to the substrate, and can be co-molded on the surfaces of substrates with various shapes.
In some embodiments, the transferable liquid confinement type aerogel film comprises a polymer network skeleton composed of aramid nanofibers and liquid materials uniformly distributed in the polymer network skeleton, wherein the aramid nanofibers are lapped to form a three-dimensional porous network structure, and the three-dimensional porous network structure can provide strong capillary force for the liquid materials, stably confine the liquid materials, and enable the liquid materials to be filled and embedded in the polymer network skeleton.

The phase-change fluid with the negative temperature is solid at room temperature, is heated to the phase-change temperature, is wrapped on a skeleton formed by connecting nano materials, and is embedded in a three-dimensional porous network structure. When the liquid material is a phase-change fluid related to positive temperature, the transparency of the liquid confined aerogel film is reduced along with the temperature rise, and when the liquid material is a phase-change fluid related to negative temperature, the transparency of the liquid confined aerogel film is increased along with the temperature rise.
Further, the positive temperature-dependent phase change fluid comprises one or more of poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAm), hydroxypropyl cellulose, and poly (N-vinyl caprolactam) (PNVCL).

Example 4
Influence of concentration of aramid nanofiber dispersion on spin coating process, morphology transparency, integrity and the like of aramid aerogel films:
1) The mass percentages of the prepared aramid nanofiber are respectively 1 wt percent, 1.5 wt percent and 2 wt percent, and the prepared aramid nanofiber dispersion of 250 g is taken as an example and specifically comprises the following steps:
① 1 wt% aramid nanofiber dispersion, namely mixing 2.5 g aramid nanofibers, 2.5 g potassium tert-butoxide, 2.5 g methanol and 242.5 g dimethyl sulfoxide, stirring uniformly by using a magnetic stirrer to obtain 1 wt% aramid nanofiber dispersion, and standing the casting film solution for 4h to remove bubbles for standby.
② 1.5 Wt% of aramid nanofiber dispersion liquid, namely mixing 3.75 g of aramid nanofibers, 3.75 g of potassium tert-butoxide, 3.75 g of methanol and 238.75 g of dimethyl sulfoxide, stirring uniformly by using a magnetic stirrer to obtain 1.5 wt% of aramid nanofiber dispersion liquid, and standing the casting film liquid for 4h to remove bubbles for standby.
③ 2 Wt% of aramid nanofiber dispersion liquid, namely mixing 5g aramid nanofibers, 5g potassium tert-butoxide, 5g methanol and 235 g dimethyl sulfoxide, stirring uniformly by using a mechanical stirrer to obtain 2 wt% of aramid nanofiber dispersion liquid, and standing the casting film liquid for 4 h to remove air bubbles for later use.
2) Influence of mass percentage of aramid nanofibers in aramid nanofiber dispersion on viscosity
The aramid nanofiber dispersion solutions with different mass percentages are taken to be 1 ml respectively, and the change of viscosity along with the shear speed is tested by using a rotary rheometer. Fig. 3a is a graph for testing rheological behavior of an aramid nanofiber dispersion containing different mass percentages of aramid nanofibers, and as shown in fig. 3a, it can be seen that the above-mentioned aramid nanofiber dispersions with different mass percentages all have a phenomenon of shear thinning, and as the mass concentration of the aramid nanofibers is greater, the rate of shear thinning increases, and as the mass percentage of the aramid nanofibers increases, the viscosity thereof also increases.
3) Influence of methanol concentration on viscosity of aramid nanofiber dispersion
Taking 2 wt% of aramid nanofiber dispersion as an example, changing the concentration of methanol added in the aramid nanofiber dispersion to prepare the dispersion with the mass ratio of 1:0 (no methanol added), 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 and 1:5 respectively, wherein fig. 3b is a flow deformation test chart of the aramid nanofiber dispersion with different methanol addition amounts, as shown in fig. 3b, the color of the aramid nanofiber dispersion is changed from dark red to light red along with the increase of the methanol content, the rheological property characteristics are consistent when the mass ratio of the aramid nanofiber to the methanol is 1:1 and 1:2, and the viscosity thinning rate is larger than that when the mass ratio of the aramid nanofiber to the methanol is 1:3 and 1:4 in the later period, and the rheological property characteristics are consistent. Fig. 3c is a graph comparing viscosity curves of a 2wt.% aramid dispersion with a different mass ratio of aramid nanofibers to methanol (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4) to a non-methanol containing aramid dispersion (1 wt wt.% to 1.5 wt.%), as can be seen from fig. 3c, in the earlier stage, the viscosity of a dispersion containing 2wt wt.% aramid (aramid nanofibers: methanol=1:1) was thinned simultaneously with the aramid nanofibers: methanol=1:2, and the viscosity was similar. The viscosity was, in order from large to small, 2 wt% dispersion (aramid nanofibers: methanol=1:1, 1:2), 1.5: 1.5 wt% dispersion (without methanol), 2 wt% dispersion (aramid nanofibers: methanol=1:3), 2 wt% dispersion (aramid nanofibers: methanol=1:4).
If the viscosity of the aramid nanofiber dispersion is too high, the dispersion is difficult to spread smoothly during spin coating, so that a film with a thinner thickness cannot be formed, if the viscosity is low, continuous forming of the film is poor, so that from the aspect of proper viscosity, the mass percentage of the aramid nanofiber is in the range of 1-2 wt%, if methanol is added, the content of the aramid nanofiber can be 2 wt%, and the mass ratio of the aramid fiber to the methanol is in the range of 1:1-1:4.
4) Influence of mass percentage of aramid nanofibers in aramid nanofiber dispersion on spin coating process, morphology transparency, integrity and the like of aramid aerogel film
Fig. 4a, 4b, and 4c are the spin coating process of the aramid nanofiber dispersion prepared in this example at concentrations of 1wt%, 1.5wt%, and 2wt%, respectively, as observed with a high-speed camera. The aramid nanofiber dispersion can observe a large amount of wavy liquid during spreading, and when radially spread, a thin inner film is formed in the middle, and capillary ridges are formed on the periphery. Due to the difference in viscosity due to the different concentrations of the aramid nanofiber dispersion, the film spread rate was different at the same rotational speed, and a comparison of fig. 4a-4c shows that at 13s, for 1wt% and 1.5. 1.5wt% of the aramid nanofiber dispersion, it had been spread over the entire substrate, whereas 2wt% of the aramid nanofiber dispersion had been spread over only about 2/3.
Example 5
Influence of volume and rotation speed of aramid nanofiber dispersion on aramid aerogel film:
According to the controlled variable method, 1 wt%, 1.5 wt% and 2 wt% of the aramid nanofiber dispersion prepared in example 2 of 1 ml, 3 ml and 5 ml were used to investigate the effect on the integrity, optical transparency and thickness of the film at different rotational speeds (rotational speed is adjustable in 500-9500 rpm).
Fig. 5a, 5b and 5c are physical photographs of an aramid aerogel film formed by 1 wt%, 1.5 wt% and 2 wt% of an aramid nanofiber dispersion under different spin-coating parameters, respectively, and the integrity of the film is judged according to whether the shape of the film is a regular circle and whether the film is broken or not (v represents that the integrity of the film is good, x represents that the integrity is poor).
As can be seen by referring to fig. 5a-5c, the volume of the aramid nanofiber dispersion was 1 ml at a lower rotational speed (500 rpm), the whole substrate was not fully coated, and the film was spin coated uniformly at a low concentration (1-1.5 wt.%) with increasing rotational speed. For an aramid nanofiber concentration of 2 wt%, an aramid nanofiber dispersion of 1 ml would need to be spun at 2500 rpm to be uniform. The aramid nanofiber dispersion liquid with v=1 ml is susceptible to breakage and uneven thickness under the conditions of high rotation speed (5500-9500 rpm) and low concentration (1 wt.%).
Fig. 6a, 6b and 6c are graphs showing the transmittance of the aramid aerogel film obtained by spin coating the aramid nanofiber dispersion liquid of 2 wt% in volumes of 1mL, 3mL and 5mL at different rotation speeds in the visible light band (left side) and the ultraviolet band (right side), respectively. In general, the aramid aerogel film has the characteristics of visible light transparency and ultraviolet light wave band opacity, the transparency of the visible light wave band is 89-96.5%, and the transparency of the ultraviolet light wave band is 0.2-1.8%. As can be seen from fig. 6a, 6b, and 6c, the film has an increased transmittance in the visible light range with an increase in the rotation speed, and can be transparent as the glass substrate. In the ultraviolet band, the transmittance of the film to the ultraviolet band is enhanced along with the increase of the rotating speed.
The thickness of the aramid aerogel film spun by adopting an electron microscope to represent the approximate thickness of the aramid nanofiber dispersion liquid spun by 1 wt percent, taking 5 points for each section to test the thickness, and finding that when the aramid nanofiber dispersion liquid spun by 1 mL is taken, the thickness of the film spun by adopting a rotating speed of 1500-2500 rpm is less than 540 nm under the condition of ensuring the integrity of the film, when the aramid nanofiber dispersion liquid spun by 3mL is taken, the thickness of the film spun by adopting a rotating speed of 1500-3500 rpm is less than 2 mu m under the condition of ensuring the integrity of the film, and when the aramid nanofiber dispersion liquid spun by 5 mL is taken, the thickness of the film spun by adopting a rotating speed of 1500-4500 rpm is less than 3 mu m under the condition of ensuring the integrity of the film. The integrity and thickness of the spin-coated film is shown in fig. 7, where the spreading of the film on the rotating substrate is affected by the balance control between kinetic energy, surface energy, viscous dissipation energy, and the shear work exerted by the rotating substrate on the droplets.
Example 6
Liquid-confined aerogel films with excellent transferability
The aerogel film spin-coated on the glass substrate takes the aramid aerogel film as an example, the aramid aerogel film is lifted from the substrate, the film is easy to bend, strong static electricity is easy to generate, and especially nitrogen anions can be exposed on the surface of the aramid aerogel film. The test shows that the mass fraction of the aramid aerogel film is 1.5-2 wt%, the spin coating speed of the aramid aerogel film is 500-3500 rpm, the charging amount of the lower surface of the aramid aerogel film contacting the glass substrate is-20V to-210V by adopting a SIMCO ion TM FMX-003 electrometer, and the charging amount of the upper surface contacting air is negligible.
In order to transfer the aramid aerogel films with different charge amounts according to the needs, the invention utilizes the liquid material with good wettability with the aramid aerogel film to be compounded with the aramid aerogel film, and specifically takes the volume V Liquid (V Liquid to be larger than the porosity of the aerogel filmProduct of the film volume V Film and method for producing the same ), impregnating the aerogel film in the liquid material of V Liquid , fully filling the pores of the aerogel material based on proper viscosity and good wettability of the liquid material, forming a saturated liquid filling layer on the surface of the aerogel film after saturation, and molding the wet surface to form the transferable liquid confinement type aerogel film. It can be adhered to the surfaces of substrates of different materials and different shapes in a conformal manner.
Firstly, immersing an aramid aerogel film spin-coated on a glass substrate into water (the viscosity of the water is 0.89 mPa & s, the static contact angle of the water and the aramid aerogel film is 26.7 DEG), so that the water completely infiltrates the film to form a liquid confined aerogel film, then salvaging the liquid confined aerogel film by using a metal filter screen and a foam board, and as shown in figure 8a, observing that the film is flatly attached to the transferred substrate, and salvaging the film floating on the surface of the water by using regular cubes and irregular-curve desktop ornaments respectively. As shown in fig. 8b, 8c, 8d, it can be observed that the film can be transferred to the target substrate intact, perfectly fitting, whether regular or irregular. For objects of different geometric shapes, including but not limited to single plane, single curved surface, sphere, regular octahedron, penrose triangle, three-dimensional einstein Luo Senqiao, irregular object surface (such as kitten's ornament, santa Claus ornament) and the like, and for substrates of different materials (including but not limited to polymer substrate, glass substrate, stainless steel substrate, skin and the like), the transferable liquid confinement aerogel film provided by the invention can be well co-bonded.
According to the invention, poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide, hydroxypropyl cellulose, poly (N-vinyl caprolactam), eicosane, 1-octadecane, octacosane, 1-octyl-3-methylimidazole bistrifluoromethylsulfonylimine salt, 1-hydroxyethyl-3-methylimidazole bistrifluoromethylsulfonylimine salt, tetrabutylammonium 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester salt, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole bistrifluoromethylsulfonylimide salt and dimethicone are respectively filled in the aramid aerogel film, the cellulose aerogel film prepared in the example 2 and the silica aerogel film prepared in the example 3, so that the liquid confined aerogel films filled with the liquid materials have good transferability and can be well adhered to the surfaces of substrates with various shapes and materials.
The system research shows that the viscosity of the filled liquid material and the static contact angle of the filled liquid material and the aramid aerogel film have influence on whether the liquid confined aerogel film can be well transferred and attached to the surface of a substrate in a common mode, if the viscosity of the liquid material is too high, the film is difficult to smoothly transfer, and if the static contact angle between the liquid material and the aramid aerogel film is large, functional liquid is difficult to infiltrate the film and form a saturated filling liquid layer on the surface of the film, so that the film is difficult to completely transfer and is easy to crack. When the viscosity of the liquid material is 500 mPa s or less and the static contact angle with the ultrathin aerogel film is 40 ° or less, the prepared liquid-confined aerogel film is excellent in transferability and co-lamination property.
Fig. 8e shows a photograph of a composite film filled with a liquid material having an excessively high viscosity, which is easily wrinkled and cannot be adhered to the substrate surface in a conformal manner. In addition, fig. 8e also shows a photograph of a composite film formed by unsaturated filling of a liquid material, which is found to be not completely transferred and easily broken.
Example 7
And filling positive/negative temperature-related phase-change fluid into the aramid aerogel film to prepare the transferable liquid confined aerogel film with accurately adjustable optical transparency.
Poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide (PNIPAm, positive temperature-dependent phase-change fluid) and eicosane (negative temperature-dependent phase-change fluid) are respectively filled in an aramid aerogel film (thickness 10 μm).
Fig. 9 is a graph of film transparency change during heating and cooling of a PNIPAM filled liquid confinement aerogel film. As shown in fig. 9, when the temperature was raised to 40 ℃, mona Lisa was covered with veil under the film, and when the temperature was lowered to 28 ℃, the liquid confinement aerogel film became transparent and the pattern under the film was clearly visible. FIG. 10 is a graph of film transparency change during heating and cooling of eicosane-filled liquid confinement aerogel films. As shown in fig. 10, the liquid-confinement aerogel film appeared transparent when the temperature was increased to 50 ℃, the pattern under the film was clearly visible, and Mona Lisa under the film was covered with a hazy veil when the temperature was decreased. The mechanism is that PNIPAm hydrogels exhibit clear optical properties by switching between a coil (transparent) and a sphere (opaque) at lower temperatures. The critical solution temperature (LCST) is 32 ℃, and when the temperature exceeds LCST, the polymer molecules agglomerate into spheres from a coil state, the transmittance is significantly reduced, sunlight is blocked, and the process is reversible. Eicosane provides temperature regulation during melting or crystallization by latent heat exchange. The linear hydrocarbons interact poorly, but with high symmetry, providing efficient latent heat in the most acceptable temperature range.

A transferable liquid confinement type aerogel film with optical transparency and terahertz wave absorption performance.
50 Mu L of ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazole bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide salt is dripped on an aramid aerogel film (1.5 wt% of aramid nanofibers, the rotating speed is 4500 rpm, the volume of 3 mL of casting solution is 10 mu m), and the ionic liquid is completely infiltrated and filled in the aramid aerogel film to form a liquid confined aerogel film.
The liquid confined aerogel film is placed in a test light path of a BT-FTS5500 optical fiber coupling type terahertz spectrometer, the transmittance of the liquid confined aerogel film to terahertz wave bands is obtained, and compared with a pure aramid aerogel film and a pure glass matrix, the liquid confined aerogel film has a good absorption effect on terahertz waves, which is derived from the fact that ion pairs in 1-octyl-3-methylimidazole bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide salt generate strong ion conduction loss under terahertz wave oscillation, so that coexistence of 'light transmission' and 'strong terahertz absorption' (liquid lens) is realized, and a new path is opened up for integrated EMI shielding of an optical window. Fig. 11 is an absorption effect diagram of the liquid confinement type aerogel film in the present embodiment on terahertz waves. The liquid confined aerogel film filled with the 1-octyl-3-methylimidazole bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide has the effects of transparency in the visible light band (the transmittance is more than 99.8%) and absorption in the terahertz band (the absorptivity is 80%).

Mechanical tensile properties of liquid confinement type aerogel films:
50 mu L of ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazole bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide salt is dripped on an aramid aerogel film (2 wt percent of aramid nanofibers, the rotating speed is 1500 rpm, and the thickness is 57 mu m) on a glass substrate, and the ionic liquid is completely infiltrated and filled in the aramid aerogel film to form a liquid confined aerogel film.
The liquid confinement aerogel films were subjected to mechanical tensile testing, with pure aramid aerogel that was not compounded with ionic liquid as a control, and fig. 12 is a mechanical tensile stress-strain diagram of the pure aramid aerogel film and the liquid confinement aerogel film. As shown in fig. 12, the tensile strength of the aramid aerogel film itself was 0.52 MPa and the elongation at break was 8.6%, the tensile strength of the liquid-domain-limited aerogel film was increased to 0.58 MPa and the elongation at break was 10.2%, and the toughness of the liquid-domain-limited aerogel film itself was also superior to that of the solid aramid aerogel film itself in terms of the integrated area. The filling of the 1-octyl-3-methylimidazole bistrifluoromethanesulfonimide salt improves the mechanical properties of the film, so that the film can keep the integrity in the process of repeated transfer and use, and the problems of weak mechanical properties and easy breakage in the process of transfer or use of the thinner aramid aerogel film are solved.
In addition, the mechanical tensile property of the liquid confined aerogel film with the 1-hydroxyethyl-3-methylimidazole bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide) salt serving as the filled liquid material is detected, and the tensile strength of the liquid confined aerogel film is 0.55 MPa and the elongation at break is 15.1%, which shows that the filling of the 1-hydroxyethyl-3-methylimidazole bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide) salt can also improve the tensile property of the film.

100 mu L of ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazole bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide salt is filled in an aramid aerogel film (2 wt% of aramid nanofibers, the rotating speed is 2500 rpm, the volume of 1mL of casting solution is 19.6 mu m), and a liquid domain-limited aerogel film is formed.
The upper and lower surfaces of the liquid confinement type aerogel film are encapsulated by cured Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films (132.3 mu m thick), copper conductive tapes (used as positive and negative electrodes) are adhered to the two ends of the strip-shaped sample, and the transparent solid-liquid composite sensing area between the electrodes at the two sides is 18 mm multiplied by 15 mm, so that the resistance type film sensor based on the liquid confinement type aerogel film is formed. The resistance type film sensor is repeatedly folded and deformed to obtain obvious resistance change signals, and fig. 13 shows that the resistance change rate of the resistance type film sensor is 1.5-1.7% according to the repeated folding chart and the resistance change rate of the resistance type film sensor.

Flexible wearable sensing performance of liquid confinement aerogel films:
50 mu L of ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazole bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide salt is filled in a spin-coated aramid aerogel film (2 wt% of aramid nanofibers, the rotation speed is 2500 rpm, the volume of 1mL of casting solution and the thickness is 19.6 mu m), so that a liquid confined aerogel film is formed.
The upper and lower surfaces of the liquid confined aerogel film are encapsulated by cured Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films (256.4 mu m thick), copper conductive tapes (used as positive and negative electrodes) are adhered to the two ends of the strip-shaped sample, and the transparent solid-liquid composite sensing area between the electrodes at the two sides is 12 mm multiplied by 15 mm, so that the aerogel film flexible sensor is formed. When the aerogel film flexible sensor is worn on a finger (index finger), fig. 14 is a graph showing finger straightening-bending motion sensing when the aerogel film flexible sensor is worn on the index finger in the embodiment, the aerogel film flexible sensor can be attached to a bent finger joint in a conformal manner during bending, obvious motion sensing signals are detected when repeated straightening and bending motions are carried out, the resistance change value is uniform and stable, and the highest resistance change rate can reach 4.7% under certain finger straightening and bending amplitude.

Flexible wearable sensing performance of liquid confinement aerogel films:
Filling ionic liquid 1-octyl-3-methylimidazole bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide salt into the spin-coated ultrathin aramid aerogel film to form a liquid confined aerogel film. The upper and lower surfaces of the liquid confinement aerogel film are stuck with preservative films, copper conductive tapes (used as positive and negative electrodes) are stuck at the two ends of the strip-shaped sample to form a resistance type film sensor based on the liquid confinement aerogel film, the resistance type film sensor is stuck to a wrist with gloves, the resistance change of the film is detected in real time by connecting positive and negative electrode wires of a Jili 2400 data source meter to the copper electrodes of the film sensor, and fig. 15 is a sensing performance test chart of the resistance type film sensor at the wrist in the embodiment. The result shows that the change rate of the resistance value can generate regular waveform change between 0% and 5% along with the cyclic change of the bending-straightening state of the wrist.

The liquid-confined aerogel film is placed in a black oil-based magnetic fluid which is not mutually soluble with ionic liquid, black oil drops are attached to the surface of the liquid-confined aerogel film, and then the liquid-confined aerogel film is taken out to be rinsed in deionized water or rinsed by flowing deionized water, and the oil drops on the surface of the liquid-confined aerogel film are rinsed away, so that no oil drops remain. Fig. 16 is a photograph of the liquid-confined aerogel film in this example immersed in a black oil-based magnetic fluid and taken out after washing. The liquid confinement aerogel film has excellent anti-pollution performance, so that the liquid confinement aerogel film can be used as a functional film layer to endow the surfaces of various materials with excellent anti-pollution and anti-scaling capabilities.
