Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to an epoxy mortar coating, in particular to a tunnel brightening modified epoxy mortar and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a core underground transportation facility, the internal environment of the tunnel is subjected to the coupling effect of multiple factors such as humidity, vibration, tail gas corrosion, etc., which leads to cracks, leakage and surface deterioration of the concrete lining. The traditional epoxy mortar, with high bonding strength (> 3 MPa) and rapid curing characteristics, has become the mainstream material for tunnel repair. However, with the promotion of smart tunnel and low-carbon operation and maintenance concept, single mechanical repair cannot meet the demand. According to the survey, the energy consumption of tunnel lighting accounts for more than 35% of the total operation cost, and the low reflectivity (60° gloss < 10GU) of the traditional epoxy mortar aggravates the lighting load. Therefore, the development of brightening epoxy mortar with structural repair and optical enhancement functions has become a research hotspot in recent years.
[0003] Existing research mainly improves the optical performance of epoxy mortar by adding reflective fillers such as glass beads and titanium dioxide. For example, Zhang et al. used 20% glass beads to dope the system, which increased the reflectivity of the material to 65%, but the compressive strength decreased from 80 MPa to 62 MPa. Chen's team proposed a nano-TiO pre-mixing process with epoxy resin, which achieved 85% visible light reflectivity under ultraviolet light, but the agglomeration of nanoparticles led to an 18% decrease in interfacial bonding strength. In addition, some scholars tried to introduce rare earth complexes to achieve active light emission, but their weather resistance has not yet reached the engineering standard.
[0004] The current brightening epoxy mortar faces three major contradictions: 1. Optical-mechanical performance antagonism: the rigid characteristics of reflective fillers are incompatible with the flexible network of the epoxy matrix, causing stress concentration; 2. Longevity and environmental adaptability imbalance: acidic tail gas leads to the loss of photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide, and the reflectivity decreases by 40%; 3. Conflict of construction rheological properties: it is difficult to balance the requirements of low viscosity and anti-sagging, and the efficiency of spray coating is reduced by 50%.
[0005] In summary, the current tunnel brightening epoxy mortar faces technical bottlenecks such as reflective characteristics and mechanical properties, short service life, and poor reflective effect. This puts higher requirements on the research and development of new coating materials, which needs to consider the selection of particulate materials, modification of matrix resin, and optimization of coating process to achieve the coordination and unity of durability, reflectivity, and mechanical properties. SUMMARY
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a tunnel brightening modified epoxy mortar and a preparation method thereof.
[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides a tunnel lightening modified epoxy mortar, raw materials of the epoxy mortar at least including A component and B component; the A component includes epoxy resin, aggregate and reflective material; the B component includes curing agent and auxiliary agent;

[0058] Table 1: Raw materials and added parts (weight parts) of each example
[0059]
[0060]
[0061] Table 2: Raw materials and added parts (weight parts) of each comparative example
[0062]
[0063] The epoxy mortar of each example and comparative example after paving was tested according to the following methods:
[0064] 1. Compressive strength: tested according to GB / T 17671-1999, the higher the value, the better the compressive strength.
[0065] 2. Wear resistance: tested according to GB / T 22374-2008, the wear loss less than 0.030 g is qualified.
[0066] 3. Adhesion: tested according to standard GB / T9286-1998, the test results are graded according to an integer in 0-5, the value increases the worse adhesion, wherein 0 level indicates intact, 4 level indicates that the layer along the cutting edge large pieces of peeling, and / or some grid partial or total peeling, affected by the cross-cut area is significantly greater than 35%, but can not be significantly greater than 65%, 5 level indicates that the degree of peeling exceeds 4 level.
[0067] 4. Diffuse reflection coefficient: diffuse reflection light scattered by the sample surface is collected by an integrating sphere device, and the diffuse reflection coefficient is calculated by comparing the reflectivity of a standard white plate (BaSO). The wavelength range of the integrating sphere spectrometer is 380-2500 nm, and the resolution is ≤5 nm; the diffuse reflection coefficient is ≥85% for good.
[0068] 5. Extension diameter: the 30 min flowability extension diameter is determined according to JC / T 1004-2017 "Ceramic tile jointing agent", and ≥120 mm is pass, and ≥200 mm is excellent.
[0069] Table 3 test results
[0070]
[0071] As can be seen from the experimental data in the table, the epoxy mortar material prepared in the examples has the characteristics of high compressive strength, high wear resistance, strong adhesion and good diffuse reflection performance, and the flowability extension diameter meets the requirements. At the same time, as can be seen from example 5, the modified polyether ether ketone in the application can be co-processed with epoxy resin, and excellent flowability of epoxy mortar is obtained. Without adding leveling agent, the flowability extension diameter is equal to or better than that of the group adding leveling agent.
[0072] Comparative example 1 does not use polyfluoride modified polyether ether ketone, resulting in reduced wear resistance and diffuse reflection coefficient, and is not easy to process.
[0073] Comparative examples 2-3 do not control the particle size of the modified polyether ether ketone within the required range, and the viscosity of the epoxy mortar system increases due to the fine powder, and the adhesion of the epoxy mortar decreases due to the coarse powder; comparative example 4 does not use the modified polyether ether ketone provided by the application, and the performance is not as good as the epoxy mortar provided by the example.
[0074] As can be seen from comparative example 5, it is because the epoxy resin, modified PEEK and reflective material form an energy transition layer that effectively reduces the interfacial tension difference between the glass beads and the epoxy matrix, inhibits the aggregation of the microbeads, and enhances the structural stability; it can further enhance the reflective properties in the same system.
[0075] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present application and implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application, and any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
