Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of road engineering materials technology, specifically to a self-supporting emulsified asphalt based on PVB resin and porous silica and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Asphalt, due to its excellent adhesion, waterproofing, and durability, is widely used in road paving, waterproofing coatings, and building materials. Emulsified asphalt, as a water-based dispersion system, is widely used in highway construction, bridge waterproofing, and roof waterproofing projects due to its good low-temperature workability and environmental friendliness. However, traditional emulsified asphalt still faces some key challenges in application, such as low mechanical strength after demulsification, easy flow, and poor water resistance, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-performance engineering. Therefore, developing self-supporting emulsified asphalt materials is of significant practical importance.
[0003] To improve the mechanical properties of emulsified asphalt, researchers have recently explored polymer modification techniques to enhance its structural stability. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) resin, due to its excellent toughness, adhesion, and aging resistance, has been used to modify asphalt, enhancing its mechanical strength and weather resistance. Furthermore, porous silica powder, as an inorganic filler with a high specific surface area, not only provides reinforcement and improves the mechanical properties of asphalt, but also acts as a solid particle stabilizer in emulsion systems, forming a stable structure similar to Pickering emulsions. This effectively inhibits the aggregation and sedimentation of emulsion particles, improving the storage stability and construction adaptability of emulsified asphalt.
[0004] Therefore, addressing the problems of low mechanical strength, high flowability after demulsification, and poor water resistance of traditional emulsified asphalt, this invention proposes a self-supporting emulsified asphalt based on PVB resin and porous silica, along with its preparation method. Through the polymer toughening effect of PVB resin, the reinforcing and filling effect of porous silica, and the stabilizing effect of Pickering emulsion, the mechanical properties, structural stability, and water resistance of the emulsified asphalt are synergistically improved, thereby broadening its application range in road engineering, waterproofing engineering, and other fields. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-supporting emulsified asphalt based on PVB resin and porous silica, and its preparation method, aiming to solve the problems of low mechanical strength, easy flow after demulsification, and poor water resistance of existing emulsified asphalt. By introducing PVB resin and porous silica powder, the emulsified asphalt prepared by this invention not only has excellent mechanical properties and weather resistance, but also forms a stable self-supporting structure after demulsification, improving its application performance and adaptability.
[0006] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a self-supporting emulsified asphalt based on PVB resin and porous silica, and its preparation method. PVB resin acts as a toughening modifier, improving the flexibility and aging resistance of the asphalt; porous silica powder not only serves as a reinforcing filler, enhancing the mechanical properties of the asphalt, but also acts as a solid particle stabilizer in the emulsion system, forming a stable structure similar to Pickering emulsions, effectively inhibiting the aggregation and sedimentation of emulsion particles.

[0022] Figure 2The graph shows the dynamic viscosity test results of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2.
[0023] Figure 3 The figures show the elastic recovery test results of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2. Detailed Implementation
[0024] The following examples further illustrate the function and effect of the method of the present invention, but are not limited to the following examples.
[0025] Example 1: A self-supporting emulsified asphalt based on PVB resin and porous silica and its preparation method, comprising the following steps:
[0026] S1. Add 30 g of nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether to 300 g of deionized water at 70°C and stir until homogeneous to form an emulsified soap solution.
[0027] S2. Dissolve 100 g of industrial-grade PVB resin in ethanol and slowly add it and 10 g of isocyanate to the emulsified soap solution, stirring until evenly mixed.
[0028] S3. 30 g of nano-sized porous silica powder with an average pore size of 20 nm and a specific surface area of 300 m² / g is uniformly dispersed in emulsified soap solution under ultrasonic action to ensure stable suspension.
[0029] S4. Heat 70# asphalt to a molten state at 140-180℃;
[0030] S5. Add the emulsified soap solution to the colloid mill, and slowly add the molten base asphalt. Turn on the mill to mix evenly, and finally obtain the emulsified asphalt.
[0031] Example 2: The steps are the same as in Example 1, except that the amount of PVB added is changed from 100 g to 50 g.
[0032] Comparative Example 1: The steps are the same as described in Example 1, except that the amount of PVB added is changed from 100 g to 0 g.
[0033] Comparative Example 2: The steps are the same as those in Example 1, except that the amount of PVB added is changed from 100 g to 0 g, and the amount of porous silicon added is changed from 30 g to 0 g.
[0034] A schematic diagram of the preparation process of the self-supporting modified emulsified asphalt of this invention is shown below. Figure 1 As shown. The dynamic viscosity (60℃) and elastic recovery (25℃) of the post-evaporation cured residues of the modified emulsified asphalt prepared in the embodiments and comparative examples of this application were tested according to standard T0620. The test results are shown below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.
[0035] Dynamic viscosity reflects the fluidity, stability, and bond strength of emulsified asphalt to aggregates under high-temperature conditions, while elastic recovery characteristics measure the deformation recovery ability of emulsified asphalt under stress, directly affecting its ability to rebound rapidly under vehicle loads and reduce permanent pavement deformation. Figure 2 As can be seen, the dynamic viscosity of the solidified residue of the emulsified asphalt prepared in the embodiments of this patent application is significantly higher than that of the comparative example, indicating that the synergistic effect of PVB and porous silica effectively improves the high-temperature stability of the emulsified asphalt. Figure 3 The results further show that the emulsified asphalt obtained in Examples 1 and 2 exhibits an elastic recovery rate close to 100%, demonstrating excellent self-supporting ability. In contrast, the elastic recovery rate of Comparative Example 1 (without PVB) is significantly reduced, while the elastic recovery rate of Comparative Example 2 further decreases after the removal of porous silica. This indicates that the synergistic effect of PVB and porous silica significantly enhances the mechanical properties of the emulsified asphalt, giving it superior deformation recovery ability and structural stability.
[0036] As demonstrated by the above embodiments, the self-supporting emulsified asphalt based on PVB resin and porous silica prepared by this invention exhibits good high-temperature stability, adhesion, and self-supporting ability, and the comprehensive mechanical properties of the modified asphalt are significantly improved. Compared with conventional technologies, this invention represents a significant technological advancement.
