[0002] Non-aqueous reaction type polymer grouting materials are a new type of civil engineering material with good comprehensive performance and have been widely used in the field of infrastructure engineering. When polymer grouting materials are in service in actual projects, their mechanical properties are the key to ensuring good grouting repair effects.

[0003] In actual projects, polymer grouting materials are buried in rock and soil for a long time and will inevitably encounter the erosion of corrosive media such as acids and alkalis in urban sewage, seawater, and rainwater, resulting in continuous changes in their mechanical properties. At present, there are few studies on the mechanical property evolution mechanism of polymer grouting materials in chemical corrosion environments such as acids and alkalis, especially the research on the micro-mechanical properties of polymer grouting materials after corrosion has not been carried out. The molecular dynamics simulation method is a commonly used method for studying the mechanical properties of materials at the microscale, and the premise is to establish a reasonable molecular model of polymer grouting materials.

[0004] Existing technologies for establishing molecular models, such as a method for constructing a molecular dynamics geometric model of spinodal decomposition distribution with the patent number ZL202010667817.X, include the following steps: Step 1, based on the Cahn-Hilliard model, construct a phase field model for spinodal decomposition of the system, and use MATLAB to iterate the phase field model, and finally output the target concentration data of the block in vtk format; Step 2, based on the Python environment, call the vtk format file of the block target concentration data and store it in the form of a dictionary, which is the built-in type of sequences in Python; Step 3, create a molecular dynamics geometric model data file, establish the correspondence between the atomic coordinates and the coordinates of the blocks in the dictionary, and set the concentration threshold of the blocks; and according to the concentration threshold of the blocks, organize the molecular dynamics geometric model data file and output a new molecular dynamics model data file; Step 4, input the new molecular dynamics model data file into LAMMPS for molecular dynamics simulation. The above invention can be used for molecular dynamics simulation research on porous nano-metal materials. However, it is not applicable to the establishment of the molecular dynamics model of polymer grouting materials after corrosion in this application. Summary of the Invention

[0046] S23. Analyze the obtained infrared spectrum diagram, and infer the molecular structure characteristics and chemical group information such as the structural composition of the polymer grouting material through the position and intensity of the infrared absorption peaks in the spectrum diagram.

[0047] S30. Chemical corrosion test;

[0048] The specific process is as follows:

[0049] S31. Place the polymer grouting material in a plastic bucket containing 10 wt% H2SO4 solution, seal it and move it to a dark place, control the ambient temperature at about 25 °C and the humidity at about 40%, and soak for 28 days.

[0050] S40. Infrared spectrum scanning of the material after corrosion;

[0051] The specific process is as follows:

[0052] S41. Carefully take out the polymer grouting material of the grouting material after being corroded and soaked in the H2SO4 solution for 28 days from the solvent with tweezers, rinse it with running water for two to three minutes, and let it dry naturally at room temperature, then perform the specific steps in S20.

[0053] S50. Comparative analysis of the infrared spectrum results before and after corrosion: Compare the infrared spectrum diagrams of the polymer grouting material before and after being corroded by the H2SO4 solution, and compare and analyze the change rules of the microscopic structure at the atomic level of the polymer grouting material before and after corrosion through the changes in the position and intensity of the infrared absorption peaks in the spectrum diagram;

[0054] Determination of the change of the polymer material molecular structure: According to the comparison results of the spectrum diagrams in step S50, determine the changes in the molecular structure and functional groups at the atomic level of the polymer grouting material;

[0055] Specifically, for example, through 1110 cm in the spectrum diagram -1and 1210 cm -1 From the weakening of the stretching vibration peak of the ether bond (C-O-C) at [specific position], the cleavage of the ether bond can be inferred;

[0056] Through the weakening of the stretching vibration peak of C=O at 1710 cm -1 [specific position], the cleavage of the ester group is reflected;

[0057] S60, Establishment of molecular dynamics model: According to the changes in the molecular structure and functional groups of the polymer grouting material at the atomic level determined in step S50, use Materials Studio software to construct a molecular chain model of the polymer grouting material at the atomic level, and then use the LAMMPS software package to establish a molecular dynamics model of the corroded polymer grouting material.

[0058] Specifically, when using Materials Studio software to establish a single molecular chain of the corroded model, break some ester groups and ether bonds in the molecular chain, "dissolve" some short chains after cleavage, and supplement the corresponding hydrogen atoms to satisfy the charge balance;

[0059] Use Materials Studio software to assign CVFF force field parameters to the model,

[0060] Among them, the bond potential, bond angle potential and dihedral angle potential all adopt the form of simple harmonic vibration, and the non-bonded interaction potential adopts the standard 12-6 Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential style;

[0061] Use the LAMMPS software package to copy the established single molecular chain of the corrosion product into 15, and assign the NVT and NPT ensembles to the initial model. Perform a heating and cooling cycle on the unstable initial model under the ensemble to reach its most stable equilibrium state, and obtain the final model of the corroded polymer grouting material.

[0062] Example Two:

[0063] Verify the correctness of the model of the corroded polymer grouting material in Example One, including the following steps:

[0064] The first step: Establish a model of the polymer grouting material before corrosion: Step S60 also includes establishing a molecular dynamics model of the polymer grouting material before corrosion according to the molecular structure, types of functional groups and absorption peak intensities of different functional groups determined in step S20.

[0065] Step 2: Verify the correctness of the model of the polymer grouting material after corrosion: The step S60 further includes performing a compression simulation experiment on the established molecular dynamics model of the polymer grouting material before corrosion and the established molecular dynamics model of the polymer grouting material after corrosion to verify the correctness of the molecular dynamics model of the polymer grouting material after corrosion.

[0066] According to the molecular structure and functional groups of the polymer grouting material before corrosion determined in step S20, use Materials Studio software to construct a molecular chain model of the polymer grouting material at the atomic level, and then use the LAMMPS software package to establish a molecular dynamics model of the polymer grouting material before corrosion.

[0067] Specifically, when using Materials Studio software to establish a single chain of the pre-corrosion model molecule, the structural characteristics are truthfully reflected.

[0068] Use Materials Studio software to assign CVFF force field parameters to the model.

[0069] Among them, the bonding potential, bond angle potential, and dihedral angle potential all adopt the form of simple harmonic vibration, and the non-bonding interaction potential adopts the standard 12-6 Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential style.

[0070] Use the LAMMPS software package to copy the established single chain of the molecule before corrosion into 15, and assign the NVT and NPT ensembles to the initial model. Perform a heating and cooling cycle on the unstable initial model under the ensemble to reach its most stable equilibrium state, and obtain the final model of the polymer grouting material before corrosion.

[0071] In this embodiment, to ensure that the model is in an equilibrium state before the compression simulation, first use the NPT ensemble to relax the model at 300K and 1.0 ATM, and start the formal compression simulation when the energy change tends to be stable.

[0072] The uniaxial compression is along the Z-axis direction, carried out under periodic boundary conditions and the NPT ensemble, with a time step of 0.5 fs, a simulation temperature of 300K, a strain rate set to 5*1.0e8 / s, and a maximum strain of 0.5.

[0073] Output the stress-strain data obtained from the two models, and fit and draw a comparison graph of the stress-strain curves of the models before and after corrosion, as Figure 2 .

[0074] Compared with the original state model, the micro-mechanical properties of the corroded model have all decreased significantly, which is consistent with the results of the macroscopic mechanical property tests, verifying the correctness of the corroded model. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
