COMPOSITE MATERIAL, METHOD FOR PRODUCING A MOLDED BODY, AND USE OF THE COMPOSITE MATERIAL

摘要

The invention relates to a composite material, to a method for producing a molded body, and to the use of the composite material. In order to provide a novel composite material, a composite material comprising A. 20 to 80 % by weight of a first fibrous natural material and B. 10 to 60 % by weight of siliceous binding material is proposed, wherein the siliceous binding material is formed of 90-100 % by weight of a mixture of 40 to 95 % by weight of SiO2 particles and from 5 to 60 % by weight of hydrolyzed tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and up to 10 % by weight of methyltriethoxysilane (MTEOS), and cavities are formed in the composite material. In this manner, a composite material is provided on an organic basis and has excellent insulating properties.
