Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of concrete admixtures, and particularly relates to a viscosity-reducing surface brightener and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the construction and materials industries, modern buildings are increasingly trending towards taller, lighter, and longer-span structures. High-grade concrete, with its high overall strength and light weight, is increasingly being used in national infrastructure projects. To achieve high-strength or ultra-high-strength concrete, a large amount of cementitious materials and a low water-binder ratio are required. This results in high viscosity and slow flow in fresh concrete, making construction difficult. Furthermore, with the increasing scarcity of river sand resources, manufactured sand has become the primary fine aggregate in Fujian Province. Compared to natural river sand, manufactured sand particles have a rough, sharp, and angular surface, a large fineness modulus, poor gradation, a high bulk void ratio, and contain a large amount of stone dust. These factors increase viscosity when mixed with concrete. The rough surface and mechanical interlocking increase resistance to concrete flow. The low number of intermediate particles in the manufactured sand gradation makes the prepared concrete susceptible to segregation and bleeding. This is especially true when mixing high-strength concrete. Due to the mix design and inherent viscosity of the cementitious materials, the concrete mix is ​​viscous, difficult to pump, and has a negative impact on the concrete's appearance.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for reducing the viscosity of high-strength concrete are increasing the superplasticizer dosage, using high-quality mineral admixtures, and optimizing particle size distribution. However, increasing the superplasticizer dosage to improve the initial fluidity of concrete can easily lead to adverse effects such as segregation and bleeding in the later stages of concrete construction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The first object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a viscosity-reducing surface brightener capable of improving the initial fluidity and glossiness of concrete.

[0005] The second object of the present invention is to provide a viscosity-reducing surface brightener prepared by the above method.

[0006] The third object of the present invention is to provide application of the above-mentioned viscosity-reducing surface brightener in the field of construction.

[0007] The preparation method of the viscosity-reducing surface brightener provided by the present invention comprises: polymerizing a polyether macromonomer, an unsaturated carboxylic acid, an unsaturated carboxylic acid ester, and a modified monomer in water; controlling the ratio of the unsaturated carboxylic acid, the unsaturated carboxylic acid ester, and the modified monomer in the polymerization reaction system so as to convert the polymerization reaction system from an initial solution polymerization to a soap-free emulsion polymerization; and obtaining a polymerization reaction product, which is the viscosity-reducing surface brightener;

[0008] The modified monomer has a structure shown in formula (1):

[0009] CH3(CH2)nCH=CHCH2(CH=CH)p(CH2)mR1 Formula (1)

[0010] In formula (1), n, m and p are each independently 0 to 7, the sum of n, m and p is 14 or more, R1 is -COOA1 or -SO3A2, and A1 and A2 are each independently H, K or Na.

[0011] The key to the present invention lies in the complex polymerization of a polyether macromonomer, an unsaturated carboxylic acid, and an unsaturated carboxylic acid ester, and using a monomer having the structure represented by formula (1) as a modifier, while simultaneously adopting a soap-free emulsion polymerization method. The resulting viscosity-reducing surface brightener can effectively improve the initial fluidity and glossiness of concrete at a relatively low dosage. This is presumably due to the following: compared to other polymerization methods, soap-free emulsion polymerization can significantly reduce the primary particle size of the polymer product. The small primary particle size and the modified monomer with a specific structure can form tiny balls in the concrete mixture, thereby reducing the viscosity of the mixture; and, as the hydration process proceeds, the tiny microbeads formed by the improved method of the present invention tend to aggregate on the surface of the concrete mixture, effectively preventing the formation of pores on the concrete surface, thereby improving the glossiness of the concrete surface.
