The preparation of novel polymer aerogel materials with enhanced flame-retardancy, superior thermal insulation and mechanical strength is of great practical significance in energy-savings and fire-prevention for buildings. Herein, we reported the fiber-reinforced polybenzoxazine (PBO) aerogel composites with flame retardance and thermal insulation, which were prepared under room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and using 4,4′-diaminodiphenlymethane (MDA) benzoxazine monomer as the raw material and oxalic acid (OA) as the catalyst. Several outstanding attributes were achieved in the aerogel composites, such as relatively low thermal conductivity (0.069 W/m·K at 10 5  Pa, 0.031 W/m·K at 5 Pa), high limiting oxygen index (LOI) up to 32.5, and enhanced mechanical properties. It can be compressed to more than 80% of the deformation without obvious cracks, and shows high compressive modulus and specific modulus (20.69 MPa and 5.05 × 10 4  N·m/Kg, respectively). All the excellent comprehensive properties mean that fiber-reinforced PBO aerogel composites have broad application prospects in the fields of flame retardancy and thermal insulation.
