Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of concrete crack repair materials, and specifically relates to a geopolymer self-repairing microcapsule, and also relates to a preparation method and application of the geopolymer self-repairing microcapsule. Background Art

[0002] Geopolymers have the characteristics of fast setting and early strength, good thermal stability, strong interface bonding ability, and a wide range of sources. They have low carbon emissions during the preparation process and are more in line with environmental protection concepts. They are one of the preferred materials to replace ordinary concrete. However, due to their high brittleness and easy cracking, geopolymers are subject to many restrictions in practical applications. Although polymer-modified geopolymers can effectively prevent the development of cracks, the cracks generated by geopolymers under long-term loads still sharply shorten the service life of geopolymers.

[0003] Therefore, the early self-repair of microcracks is crucial to improving the engineering application performance of geopolymer materials. The current microcapsule self-repair technology, both at home and abroad, mostly adopts the method of encapsulating the repair liquid, dissolving the curing agent in the mixing water and adding it to the geopolymer. However, the curing agent will gradually become ineffective over time, and the microcapsules are easy to break during the mixing process of the geopolymer, which seriously affects the effect of self-repair. At the same time, most of the existing methods for repairing cracks are to use a repair agent and a curing agent to cross-link and solidify to fill the cracks. This method will have an interface between the polymer and the geopolymer base, and the interface connection is not tight. When it is subjected to load again, the interface is prone to cracking. At the same time, the curing agent is added to the geopolymer matrix. Most of these curing agents are toxic, and long-term contact will cause harm to the human body and pollute the environment. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a geopolymer self-repairing microcapsule, and also to provide a preparation method and application of the geopolymer self-repairing microcapsule.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A geopolymer self-repairing capsule comprises the following raw materials, measured in parts by weight: 10-20 parts of acrylic acid, 4-8 parts of sodium hydroxide, 5-10 parts of zeolite, 0.03-0.2 parts of initiator, 0.01-0.1 parts of cross-linking agent, 30-60 parts of capsule wall material, 10-20 parts of emulsifier, 100-200 parts of organic solvent, 150-250 parts of dispersant and 20-50 parts of deionized water.

[0007] The size of the geopolymer self-healing microcapsules is 200-300 μm.

[0008] The initiator is potassium persulfate and / or sodium persulfate.

[0009] The cross-linking agent is N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide or divinylbenzene.

[0010] The emulsifier is one or more of Tween 20, Tween 40, Tween 80 and Span 80.

[0011] The organic solvent is one or more of anhydrous ethanol, dichloromethane, chloroform and toluene; the dispersant is soybean oil or methyl silicone oil.

[0012] The capsule wall material is ethyl cellulose.

[0013] The method of geopolymer self-repairing capsule comprises the following steps:

[0014] (1) Weigh the raw materials according to the proportion;

[0015] (2) adding sodium hydroxide into deionized water and stirring for 1-3 minutes to prepare alkaline solution;

[0016] (3) adding alkali solution to acrylic acid in an ice water bath and stirring for 2-8 minutes, then adding a crosslinking agent and stirring for 5-10 minutes, and finally adding zeolite and stirring for 1-3 minutes to obtain a solution;

[0017] (4) ultrasonically dispersing the solution obtained in step (3) for 5-10 minutes, then adding the initiator and stirring for 2-8 minutes, and then placing it in a constant temperature water bath at 60-80° C. for 1-3 hours to react;

[0018] (5) drying the finished product of step (4), grinding it in a mortar for 10-20 min, and then sieving it to obtain a zeolite-superabsorbent resin capsule core with a particle size of 100-200 μm;

[0019] (6) adding the capsule wall material and the emulsifier into the organic solvent and stirring for 5-10 minutes;

[0020] (7) adding the capsule core obtained in step (5) to the mixed solution prepared in step (6) and stirring for 5-10 minutes;

[0021] (8) Add the emulsifier to the dispersant and stir for 5-10 minutes;

[0022] (9) Add the mixed solution prepared in step (7) to the mixed solution prepared in step (8), heat and stir for 2-3 hours until the organic solvent is completely volatilized, then filter, dry, and finally collect to obtain the geopolymer self-healing microcapsules.

[0023] The stirring in steps (3), (4), (6), (7) and (8) is carried out using a magnetic stirrer at a stirring speed of 200-600 r / min.

[0024] The heating and stirring method in step (9) is stirring with a constant temperature heating stirrer, the stirring temperature is 60-80°C, and the stirring speed is 400-800r / min.

[0025] In the step (5), the drying is carried out at 50-80° C. for 24-36 hours.

[0026] In the step (9), the drying is performed at 50-70° C. for 12-18 hours.

[0027] The application of the geopolymer self-repairing capsule in repairing concrete cracks.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are:

[0029] 1. In the present invention, acrylic acid, sodium hydroxide, initiator and crosslinking agent in the capsule core are chemically synthesized into a super absorbent resin (SAP) in the porous zeolite pores. Under the action of the initiator and the crosslinking agent, the acrylic acid monomer undergoes a polymerization reaction: n(CH 2 =CHCOOH) → [-CH 2 -CHCOO-] n Zeolite acts as the skeleton of SAP, which increases the strength of the capsule core, avoids the failure of the microcapsules caused by the breakage of the microcapsules during the stirring process, and greatly improves the repair efficiency of the microcapsules.

[0030] 2. In the present invention, the geopolymer repair capsule will not become ineffective over time during use. When the geopolymer repair capsule is subjected to load and microcracks are generated, the microcapsules are broken, and the pre-stored water inside the SAP is released into the microcracks, which further hydrates the cracks to repair the cracks. In addition, when the environment is humid, the SAP in the cracks will absorb water and expand rapidly to fill the cracks, and release more water in the cracks to promote further hydration of the geopolymer.

[0031] 3. The capsule core skeleton of the present invention is zeolite, and the pores are filled with highly absorbent resin. When cracks exist, the highly absorbent resin will release water to continue hydrating the cracks in the geopolymer and repair the cracks. This repair method makes the interface bond more tightly, and the interface is not easy to crack when it is subjected to load again.

[0032] 4. The present invention uses highly absorbent resin to absorb water and waterproof, which further hydrates the cracks and expands and fills them. It does not require the use of toxic curing agents and will not cause pollution to the environment. This method is safer and more environmentally friendly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0151] (9) Add the mixed solution prepared in step (7) to the mixed solution prepared in step 8), and heat and stir (70° C., 800 r / min) for 2 h until the dichloromethane is completely volatilized, then filter, wash 4 times with anhydrous ethanol, dry, and finally collect to obtain the geopolymer self-healing microcapsules.

[0152] The geopolymer self-repairing microcapsules prepared in Examples 1-9 were added to the geopolymer at 5% of the mass of the gelling material. The geopolymer mix ratio was: 500g fly ash, 500g slag, 120g alkali activator, and 350g water. The alkali activator was a mixture of water glass and sodium hydroxide, and the modulus of the alkali activator was adjusted to 1.4. 2 O content is 7%. A blank geopolymer was used as the control group.

[0153] The compressive strength test was carried out in accordance with GB / T 17671-2021 "Test Method for Strength of Cement Mortar (ISO Method)". The tests were as follows: (1) The test block was placed in a standard curing room for 7 days to test the compressive strength. (2) The test block was placed in a standard curing room for 28 days to test the compressive strength. (3) The test block was placed in a standard curing room for 7 days, and the compressive strength was tested after pre-compression of the cracks with 75% of the 7d strength and continued curing for 21 days. The specific test data are shown in the following table; the above self-healing geopolymer material specimen was placed on a press and pressurized at a pressurization rate of 0.2MPa / s. When the maximum bearing pressure was reached and cracks appeared, the pressurization was stopped. The permeability was tested at 3d, 7d, and 28d of curing through a core displacement flow device (test conditions: displacement pressure: 0.5MPa, confining pressure: 2.5MPa), and the permeability test results are listed in Table 2.

[0158] The results in the above table show that adding the self-repairing capsules of the present invention to the geopolymer has no adverse effect on the 7d and 28d compressive strength of the test block, which is equivalent to the compressive strength of the blank geopolymer in the control example. The compressive strength of the test block after pre-compression of the crack by adding the self-repairing capsules is greater than that of the test block without adding microcapsules, indicating that the self-repairing microcapsules of the geopolymer have a significant repairing effect on the cracks.

[0159] When no zeolite is added (Application Example 9), most of the microcapsules are broken during the geopolymer stirring and molding process. The broken microcapsules absorb water and swell, resulting in failure, and the working performance of the geopolymer decreases. After the geopolymer is molded, its pre-compression crack compressive strength and permeability at each age are comparable to those of the control example, indicating that when no zeolite is added, the geopolymer self-repairing microcapsules have a certain repair effect, but compared with the geopolymer microcapsules containing zeolite, its effect is very small.

[0160] It can be seen from the subsequent permeability experiment that the permeability of Examples 1-8 is significantly reduced after the addition of self-repairing microcapsules compared to the control group. This result shows that after the zeolite-containing geopolymer microcapsules are broken during the crack expansion process, free water is released, which promotes the hydration of unhydrated gelling materials to generate hydration products such as C-(A)-SH gel to fill the cracks and compact the matrix, which significantly reduces the permeability. The self-repairing microcapsules that do not contain zeolite (Application Example 9) are very easy to break and fail during the stirring process. Although they have a certain repair effect and reduce the permeability, the repair effect is reduced. Once again, it is confirmed that the geopolymer self-repairing microcapsules have a significant repair effect on cracks, and their repair effect is better over time.

[0161] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Other modifications or equivalent substitutions made to the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in the field should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
