The invention discloses a method for preparing concrete water reducing agents from polycarboxylic acid modified
acyl halide grafted composite side chains, and belongs to the field of water reducing agents. By the aid of the method for polymerizing main chains, modifying
acyl halide, polymerizing cationic side chains and then carrying out
grafting reaction, polycarboxylic acid modified
acyl halide grafted composite
side chain type concrete
reducing agent materials which are excellent in performance can be prepared. The method includes carrying out free
radical polymerization on unsaturated
carboxylic acid monomers to obtain the polycarboxylic acid main chains; modifying
carboxylic acid groups on the main chains to obtain acyl
halide groups; forming oxidation-reduction
initiation systems from high-valence ceric salt and
alcohol, initiating
polymerization of unsaturated cationic
quaternary ammonium salt monomers by the aid of the oxidation-reduction
initiation systems to obtain the hydroxyl-terminated cationic side chains; carrying out the
grafting reaction on the polycarboxylic acid main chains with the acyl
halide groups, the hydroxyl-terminated cationic side chains and
polyethylene glycol compounds to obtain the concrete water reducing agents. The method has the advantages that owing to
modes for modifying the acyl
halide by polycarboxylic acid and
grafting the cationic side chains and
polyethylene glycol side chains, composite
side chain structures can be synthesized, reaction procedures are simple and are easy to control, energy can be saved, the method is high in efficiency, and excellent water reduction
slump retaining and high-resistant clay composite effects can be realized.
