Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of building materials, in particular to a novel lightweight heat-insulating building material and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the field of building energy conservation, lightweight insulation materials are the core functional components for reducing energy consumption. Traditional solutions such as foamed cement and aerated concrete achieve lightweighting by introducing physical foaming agents or low-density fillers, and use surface waterproof coatings to improve weather resistance. However, the comprehensive performance of such materials in complex environments is still difficult to meet the requirements of high efficiency, energy saving and long life.
[0003] Existing technologies generally use a single foaming process combined with a silicate matrix. The uneven dispersion of the foaming agent leads to a coarse pore structure, and heat is quickly transferred through air convection in the pores, resulting in a high thermal conductivity. To make up for the strength deficiency, some technologies add low-density fillers such as expanded perlite, but this further reduces the compressive strength. Waterproofness relies on silicone spraying, and there is only physical adhesion between the coating and the substrate. It is easy to peel off in a hot and humid environment, and the water absorption rate is increased. Nano-enhancement technology attempts to introduce silica or carbon nanotubes, but insufficient mechanical stirring and dispersion causes particle agglomeration, which cannot effectively block the heat conduction path. In addition, traditional sintering requires high temperatures to ensure strength, resulting in pore collapse and a decrease in closed porosity. Although the low-temperature curing solution is energy-saving, it requires an extremely long cycle, making it difficult to balance efficiency and performance. Summary of the invention

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0021] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , the embodiments of the present invention provide a new type of lightweight heat-insulating building material and its manufacturing method. This material combines multiple nanotechnologies, adopts a specific raw material combination, and is prepared by a unique manufacturing method. It has excellent lightweight heat-insulating characteristics and can be widely used in the construction field, especially suitable for energy-saving buildings and environmental protection projects.
[0022] Raw Material Composition The raw materials of the new type of lightweight heat-insulating building material include, by mass: cement-based materials, foaming agents, nano-silica (SiO 2 ), graphene oxide (GO), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), silane coupling agents, fiber reinforcement materials, superhydrophobic coating materials, and other auxiliary components. According to actual needs, the proportions of each component can also be adjusted to adapt to different construction requirements and usage scenarios.
[0023] Cement-based Materials Cement-based materials are mainly used to provide the necessary strength and stability for the building materials. Common cement-based materials include Portland cement and alumina cement, and the latter can maintain better performance in high-temperature environments. According to specific needs, different cement-based materials can be selected and mixed to form a suitable matrix.
[0024] Foaming agent The foaming agent is used to generate foam, thereby increasing the porosity of the material and achieving a lightweight effect. Commonly used foaming agents include hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), aluminum powder or silicon carbide micropowder (SiC), which can effectively release gas under specific conditions to form a stable foam structure.
[0025] Nano-silica (SiO 2 ) Nano-silica is an important reinforcing material that can improve the mechanical properties, thermal stability and heat insulation effect of composite materials. Through nano-sized SiO 2 particles, the density, strength and thermal conductivity of the material can be significantly improved, and the heat insulation effect can be enhanced.
[0026] Graphene oxide (GO) Graphene oxide plays an important role in enhancing the strength and thermal conductivity of materials. Its surface contains abundant functional groups, which can form good combinations with other components, improve the thermal conductivity of materials, and at the same time enhance their high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
[0027] Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) Carbon nanotubes have extremely high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, and can effectively improve the overall strength of materials. CNTs can also improve the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and crack resistance of materials, making them more stable and durable during use.
[0028] Silane coupling agent The silane coupling agent mainly plays a role in enhancing the interfacial bonding, improving the adhesion between cement-based materials and other components, and enhancing the comprehensive performance of materials.
[0029] Fiber-reinforced materials Fiber-reinforced materials such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers and basalt fibers can enhance the toughness and crack resistance of materials. They effectively improve the bearing capacity and durability of materials under external forces and reduce the generation of cracks.
[0030] Superhydrophobic coating materials Superhydrophobic coating materials have excellent waterproof performance, can effectively prevent water penetration, and enhance the durability of materials. Commonly used coating materials include fluorosilane and nano-silica (SiO 2), which can significantly improve the waterproof performance of the material and avoid damage caused by water intrusion.
[0031] Other auxiliary components Other auxiliary components include dispersants, coagulants, retarders, bond enhancers, defoamers, pH regulators, surfactants, moisture-proof agents, etc. They can further optimize the formulation of the material and enhance its stability and workability. In particular, the dispersant helps the uniform distribution of nanoparticles in the matrix, prevents agglomeration, and ensures the uniformity and performance of the material.
[0032] Manufacturing method The process of manufacturing the new lightweight heat-insulating building material includes multiple steps. Each step needs to be strictly controlled to ensure the quality of the final product.
[0033] 1. Preparation of precursor Disperse nano-silica (SiO 2 ) and graphene oxide (GO) separately in a solvent, and use ultrasonic treatment technology. The ultrasonic treatment time is usually 20 - 40 minutes. Through this process, the nanoparticles can be uniformly dispersed, avoiding aggregation and enhancing the overall performance of the material.
[0034] 2. Matrix mixing Mix the nano-dispersion obtained in step 1 with the cement-based material, stir for 30 minutes, and then let it stand for 12 to 24 hours. This process helps the good combination of nanoparticles and the cement-based material, ensuring that the nanoparticles in the dispersion are uniformly combined with the cement-based material to form a composite structure.
[0035] 3. Foaming control After adding the foaming agent, mix uniformly at a stirring rate of 800 - 1500 rpm. The foaming agent reacts with other raw materials to release gas and form tiny bubbles. The control of the foaming process directly determines the lightweight characteristics of the material, so the stirring speed and the addition amount of the foaming agent need to be precisely controlled.
[0036] 4. Curing treatment The mixed material needs to stand for 24 - 48 hours to ensure the stability of the foam. Then carry out a stepwise temperature increase treatment at 50 - 80 °C for 2 - 4 hours. During the temperature increase process, the moisture gradually evaporates, and the foam gradually cures to form a solid foam structure.
[0037] 5. Sintering optimization Sinter the cured material at a high temperature of 650 - 850 °C for 1 - 3 hours to ensure the stability and strength of the material. If it is used in a low-temperature construction environment, a low-temperature curing scheme of 250 - 450 °C can be selected to meet the needs of different construction environments.
[0038] 6. Surface modification Finally, a superhydrophobic coating is deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The choice of the coating can be adjusted according to different usage environments and performance requirements. Commonly used coating materials include fluorosilanes, fluoropolymers, or silica-fluorosilane composites, which can provide excellent waterproof effects for the materials.
[0039] By adopting the above manufacturing method and raw material formula, the novel lightweight thermal insulation building material of the present invention has remarkable lightweight characteristics and excellent thermal insulation effects.

[0068] Comparative example 1 (Traditional process comparison scheme based on Example 1) Raw material ratio Cement-based material: 60% Foaming agent: 3.5% Ordinary silicon powder (replacing nano-silica and graphene oxide): 4% Water: 25% Other auxiliary components: 2% Conventional waterproof agent (replacing superhydrophobic coating): 5% Specific steps S1. Mixing preparation: Mix 60% of cement with 25% of water and stir for 15 minutes.
[0069] S2. Filler addition: Add 4% of ordinary silicon powder and 2% of auxiliary components and continue to stir for 10 minutes.
[0070] S3. Foaming treatment: Add 3.5% of foaming agent and stir at 1100 rpm for 4 minutes to uniformly generate foam.
[0071] S4, Curing treatment: Naturally cure for 36 hours without temperature-controlled heating-up.

[0073] S6, Surface treatment: Coating with a conventional waterproof agent, using the spraying method, and treating at room temperature for 20 minutes.
[0074] Compared with Example 1, the comparative example solution does not introduce nanomaterials and the superhydrophobic CVD process, but uses traditional silicon powder filling and waterproof spraying, which easily leads to insufficient heat insulation and crack resistance performance.
[0075] Comparative Example 2 (Low-temperature curing comparison solution based on Example 2) Raw material ratio Cement-based material: 60% Foaming agent: 4% Nano-silica (SiO 2 ) : 2% Graphene oxide (GO): 1% Water: 20% Other auxiliary components: 3% Without superhydrophobic coating Specific steps S1, Preparation of precursor: Disperse 2 parts of nano-silica and 1 part of graphene oxide in 20% water and ultrasonically treat for 20 minutes.

[0077] S3, Foaming control: Add 4% of aluminum powder and stir at 1000 rpm for 3 minutes.
[0078] S4, Curing treatment: Stand for 30 hours and naturally cure without stepwise heating-up.
[0079] S5, Sintering treatment: Sinter at 800 °C for 2 hours.
[0080] S6, Surface treatment: Use the traditional dipping method and treat at room temperature for 20 minutes without using the CVD process.
[0081] This solution simplifies the process in both the preparation of the precursor and the curing steps, does not use stepwise heating-up and the superhydrophobic coating, which easily reduces the moisture resistance and overall stability of the material.
[0082] Comparative Example 3 (High-temperature sintering comparison solution based on Example 3) Raw material ratio Cementitious material: 53% Foaming agent: 2.5% Nanosilica (SiO 2 ) : 3% Graphene oxide (GO): 1% Water: 25% Other auxiliary components: 3% Without superhydrophobic coating Specific steps S1.

[0084] S3. Foaming treatment: Add 2.5% silicon carbide micropowder and stir at 1100 rpm for 4 minutes.
[0085] S4. Curing treatment: Shorten the curing time to 30 hours and treat at 70 °C for 2 hours.
[0086] S5. Sintering treatment: Raise the sintering temperature to 800 °C and control the time at 1.5 hours.
[0087] S6. Surface treatment: Coat the waterproof agent by traditional spraying method and treat at room temperature for 15 minutes.
[0088] Compared with Example 3, this comparative example scheme increases the sintering temperature, shortens the curing and surface treatment steps, and does not use CVD-deposited superhydrophobic coating, which may lead to poor thermal stability and moisture-proof performance.
[0089] Comparative Example 4 (Traditional surface treatment comparison scheme based on Example 4) Raw material ratio Cementitious material: 60% Foaming agent: 5% Nanosilica (SiO 2 ) : 2.5% Graphene oxide (GO): 2% Water: 19% Other auxiliary components: 3% Without superhydrophobic coating (replaced by dip coating process) Specific steps S1. Mixing and dispersion: Dissolve 2.5 parts of nanosilica and 2 parts of graphene oxide in 19% water and ultrasonically treat for 20 minutes.
[0090] S2. Substrate Preparation: Add 60% cement, stir for 15 minutes, and then let it stand for 18 hours.
[0091] S3. Foaming Treatment: Add 5% hydrogen peroxide and stir at 1200 rpm for 3 minutes.
[0092] S4. Curing Treatment: Let it stand for 24 hours for natural curing without temperature control steps.
[0093] S5. Sintering Treatment: Sinter at 750 °C for 1.5 hours.
[0094] S6. Surface Treatment: Coating with waterproof agent by traditional dip - coating process, dip - coat at room temperature for 25 minutes without CVD deposition.
[0095] Different from Example 4, this comparative - example solution abandons the CVD process and uses traditional dip - coating treatment, which is likely to result in inferior waterproof and moisture - proof properties compared to the super - hydrophobic coating solution of the present invention.
[0096] Experimental Example Experimental Purpose Verify the comprehensive performance of the novel lightweight thermal - insulating building material of the present invention, including lightness, heat insulation, waterproofness, and durability, and clarify the creative improvement of the present invention compared with traditional technologies by comparing with comparative - example embodiments.
[0097] Experimental Materials and Equipment Test Samples: Example Group: Building - material samples prepared in Examples 1 to 4.
[0098] Comparative - example Group: Building - material samples prepared in Comparative - example Embodiments 1 to 4.
[0099] Test Equipment: Thermal - conductivity measuring instrument (ISO8301 standard).
[0100] Electronic density meter (ASTMC642 standard).
[0101] Universal mechanical testing machine (ASTMC39 standard).
[0102] Thermostatic and humidistatic chamber (simulating humid and hot environment).
[0103] High - pressure spraying device (simulating heavy - rain scouring).
[0104] Micro - CT scanner (pore - structure analysis).
[0105] Experimental Methods and Procedures 1. Lightness Test Steps: Cut the sample into a standard block of 10 cm×10 cm×5 cm.
[0106] Measure the bulk density using an electronic densitometer and compare the examples with the control groups.
[0107] Data recording: Density values of each sample (kg / m³).
[0108] 2. Thermal insulation performance test Steps: Place the sample between the two heating plates of the thermal conductivity measuring instrument.
[0109] Keep the temperature difference ΔT = 25 °C constant and record the heat transfer rate.
[0110] Data recording: Thermal conductivity (W / m·K).
[0111] 3. Waterproof and durability test Steps: Thermostatic and humidistatic chamber: Temperature 40 °C, humidity 90%, for 30 days.
[0112] High-pressure spraying: Water pressure 0.3 MPa, continuous spraying for 2 hours.
[0113] Weigh the sample after spraying and calculate the water absorption rate (%).
[0114] Use micro-CT to scan the pore structure and observe the closed pore rate (%).
[0115] 4. Mechanical property test Steps: Conduct a compressive strength test using a universal mechanical testing machine.
[0116] Loading rate 1 mm / min, record the failure load (MPa).
[0117] Experimental data table: The introduction of nanoparticles significantly optimizes the internal structure of the material. The dispersion effect of silica and graphene oxide improves the closed pore rate, and the foam structure is more uniform and dense, thus reducing the thermal conductivity. In the traditional control group, ordinary silicon powder cannot form a stable nano-scale interface, the heat transfer path is shorter, and the thermal insulation performance is weak.
[0118] The CVD deposition process of the superhydrophobic coating is the key difference. The coating in the example is tightly bonded to the substrate, the water contact angle > 150°, effectively blocking water penetration. The spraying or dipping process in the control group cannot form a nano-scale hydrophobic layer, the water absorption rate is significantly higher, and it is prone to cracking in a humid and hot environment.
[0119] The low-temperature sintering combined with the stepwise heating curing strategy reduces the damage to nanostructures caused by high temperatures. The compressive strength of the materials in the examples is generally higher than that of the comparative examples, indicating that the process optimization enhances the toughness of the materials. The high-temperature sintering of the comparative examples results in pore collapse, a decrease in mechanical properties, and a reduction in the closed pore rate.
