Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of concrete modifier technology, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a high-performance hyperbranched concrete modifier based on the controllable degradation of waste resin. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete, as the most important building material, is widely used in civil engineering, water conservancy, and national defense construction due to its excellent mechanical properties and durability. my country's "Outline for Building a Quality Powerhouse," issued in 2023, explicitly proposes promoting the application of high-performance concrete as a green building material and emphasizing the comprehensive utilization of solid waste resources to achieve green carbon reduction.
[0003] Modifiers, such as water-reducing agents, are essential components of modern high-performance concrete because they can improve the mechanical properties of concrete while enhancing its workability and fluidity. Hyperbranched modifiers, in particular, have attracted widespread attention due to their excellent water-reducing capabilities resulting from their near-spherical three-dimensional molecular shape and high-density reactive groups. However, hyperbranched modifiers typically face bottlenecks such as low molecular weight, uncontrollable structure, product value failing to cover manufacturing costs, and high carbon emissions, hindering their practical application.
[0004] Therefore, developing hyperbranched modifiers from waste materials to achieve efficient water reduction and effectively enhance the mechanical properties of cement is of great significance to the development of the cement industry. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the above-mentioned problems, this invention provides a method for preparing a high-performance hyperbranched concrete modifier based on the controllable degradation of waste resin, aiming to solve the technical problems encountered in the application of existing high-performance concrete modifiers. Its features are:
[0006] Waste epoxy resin was pretreated by swelling in a good solvent to enhance its reactivity and act as a catalyst for the next reaction. In the presence of polyamines, the polymer was partially degraded through low-temperature swelling followed by high-temperature partial degradation. The strong interaction between the amino and hydroxyl groups on the surface of the partially degraded product and the hydroxyl groups in borate was utilized to construct a hyperbranched structure on the waste surface. The polyhydroxyl and polyamine structures resulting from the hyperbranched structure allow the modifier to form a solvation film with water molecules, effectively reducing the sliding resistance of cement particles and thus improving the fluidity of concrete.
[0007] Based on the tribranched structure and electron-deficient effect of boron, by controlling the polyamines, their types, and group densities, the molecular weight and branching modification of the resulting partially degraded waste can be adjusted, which can effectively improve the fluidity required for concrete construction and significantly increase the strength of concrete.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical means: a method for preparing a high-performance hyperbranched concrete modifier based on the controllable degradation of waste resin, comprising the following steps:
[0009] (1) Keep the waste epoxy resin in a good solvent at a certain stirring rate and stir at room temperature for 24-72 hours. After the polymer is completely swollen, dry it to obtain the pretreated waste epoxy resin.
[0010] (2) Add the pretreated waste epoxy resin to the polyamine, heat and stir thoroughly for 2-6 hours until the solution viscosity reaches 500-1000 Pa·s and then stop the reaction.
[0011] (3) Add the above solution dropwise to 500 ml of ethanol, and sonicate at 200-600 W for 1 h at room temperature, and then centrifuge at 9000 r / min for 5 min;
[0012] (4) Add the precipitate after centrifugation to N,N-dimethylformamide and stir until dissolved. Then add boric acid and stir at room temperature for 4-8 hours. Then heat to 80°C until completely dried and cooled to obtain high-performance hyperbranched concrete modifier.
[0013] Furthermore, the good solvent is at least one of dichloromethane, chloroform, acetic acid, acetone, and dimethyl carbonate.
[0014] Furthermore, the polyamine is at least one of ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, and triethylenetetramine.
[0015] The present invention also discloses a high-performance hyperbranched concrete modifier based on the controllable degradation of waste resin, prepared according to any of the above preparation methods.
[0016] The present invention also discloses the application of the above-mentioned high-performance hyperbranched concrete modifier based on the controllable degradation of waste resin in the preparation of low-carbon high-strength concrete.
[0017] Furthermore, by mixing high-performance hyperbranched concrete modifier with cement aggregate at a mass ratio of 1:100, low-carbon high-strength concrete is obtained.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the concrete modifier prepared by the controlled degradation and hyperbranching modification of waste epoxy resin described in this application has the following characteristics:
[0019] 1. This invention prepares a high-performance concrete modifier based on epoxy resin materials derived from waste, avoiding the problems of high cost and excessive carbon emissions caused by the complex synthesis of high-performance modifiers.
[0020] 2. By controlling the polyamines, their types, group densities, and reaction temperature during degradation, the molecular weight and branched modified group density of the resulting partially degraded waste can be adjusted, making it suitable for applications in different grades and types of concrete.
[0021] 3. The waste partial degradation and hyperbranching method established by this invention has simple steps, controllable product structure, high-performance modifier water reduction rate ≥30%, and significantly improved concrete mechanical properties. Attached Figure Description
