The invention discloses a preparation method for a cationic
side chain esterified-grafted highly-mud-resistant
cement dispersing agent, and belongs to the field of dispersing agents. The preparation method comprises the following steps: performing free
radical polymerization on an unsaturated
carboxylic acid monomer serving as a reactant to obtain a polycarboxylic acid main chain under the action of an initiator and a
chain transfer agent, performing free
radical polymerization on an unsaturated cationic
quaternary ammonium salt
monomer serving as a reactant to obtain a hydroxyl-terminated cationic
side chain under an oxidization-reduction
initiation system formed by high-valence ceric salt and
alcohol, and performing esterification-
grafting reaction on the polycarboxylic acid main chain, the hydroxyl-terminated cationic
side chain and a
polyethylene glycol compound in the presence of a catalyst. According to the preparation method, a process is simple and easy to control, and the preparation method is low in cost, energy-saving, efficient, environment-friendly and free of
pollution; a composite side
chain structure is modified and synthesized by a molecular structure design, so that side chain steric hindrance effects are successfully achieved, cationic charge arrangement is successfully implemented, water reduction and
slump retaining characteristics and clay
side effect suppression capabilities higher than those of an ordinary polycarboxylic
acid water reducing agent are achieved, and the dispersing agent has broad market prospect and great popularization and application potential.
