Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of road maintenance, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a double-network toughened elastomer based on hydrogen bonds and DA crosslinking. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of traffic infrastructure, the usage and load of road surfaces are increasing day by day. During long-term use, road surfaces are affected by natural environmental factors (such as temperature changes, rain erosion, ultraviolet radiation, etc.) and traffic loads, and will gradually develop diseases such as cracks, potholes, ruts, and looseness. If no measures are taken in time, these diseases will not only affect the flatness and driving comfort of the road surface, but also reduce the service life and safety of the road surface.

[0003] As a viscoelastic material, asphalt itself has a certain self-healing ability. Through the penetration and diffusion of asphalt on both sides of the crack, the crack can slowly heal automatically. However, this process is extremely slow, requiring not only a relatively high environmental temperature but also no traffic load. The operating asphalt pavement is in a complex natural environment and is affected by the cyclic action of high and low temperatures and traffic loads. Relying solely on the self-healing ability of asphalt cannot repair cracks automatically in time. Therefore, taking technical measures to greatly improve the self-healing ability of asphalt and asphalt mixtures and automatically repair cracks in time during the crack development process can greatly inhibit the crack development speed, reduce the crack depth and width, and improve the service level and service life of asphalt pavements.

[0004] Currently, the research on enhancing the self-healing behavior of asphalt concrete mainly adopts external repair technologies. The commonly used external repair technologies mainly include lime powder and microcapsule methods. Adding lime powder can improve the self-healing and performance of asphalt mixtures to some extent, but the effect is very small. Although the microcapsule method has a higher repair efficiency, it still has disadvantages such as only being able to repair once and the difficult control of capsule rupture conditions.

[0005] In view of this, researchers have focused on intrinsic self-repair technologies. The intrinsic self-repair technology is to construct an elastomer with a dynamic crosslinked network through molecular structure design, and then use this elastomer to prepare modified asphalt, thereby endowing the modified asphalt with the characteristics of high repair efficiency. However, the current single-network intrinsic self-repair elastomers have some inherent defects. Elastomers based on supramolecular interactions with a single-network structure (including hydrogen bond interactions, ionic bond interactions, metal ligand interactions, etc.) have disadvantages such as easy creep, low stability, and insufficient elasticity; while self-repair elastomers based on dynamic covalent bond interactions (such as DA reactions, disulfide bonds, carbon-nitrogen-oxygen bonds, etc.) lack an energy dissipation mechanism, so their toughness is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a preparation method of a double-network toughened elastomer based on hydrogen bonds and DA crosslinking to improve the stability, toughness and creep resistance of the elastomer, and at the same time endow it with efficient self-healing properties.

React for 5-6 h, wherein the volume ratio of the hydroxyl-containing organic compounds, ester compounds and catalyst is 100: (100-180): (13.2-44) in sequence; S1.2, after the reaction is completed, wash the reaction product with a first organic solvent 3-4 times, then place the reaction product in a vacuum box and dry it to constant weight at 30°C - 60°C to obtain hydrogen bond monomers.

[0009] Preferably, the synthesis of linear copolymers in S2 comprises the following steps: S2.1, respectively weigh butyl acrylate, furfuryl methacrylate and the hydrogen bond monomers prepared in S1 according to a molar ratio of (70-95): (2-5): (8-15), place them in a three-necked flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, then measure 40-200 mL of a second organic solvent and place it in the three-necked flask. Connect the three-necked flask with a spherical condenser, connect the condenser water for cooling, bubble for 20-30 min under an inert atmosphere, and then react at 70°C - 90°C for 6-7 h; S2.2, after the reaction is completed, put the reaction product into a non-polar solvent and precipitate it 3-4 times, then place the reaction product in a vacuum box and dry it to constant weight at 60°C - 90°C to obtain linear copolymers.

[0010] Preferably, the synthesis of the double-network toughened elastomer with hydrogen bonds and DA crosslinking in S3 comprises the following steps: S3.1, weigh a certain amount of the linear copolymers prepared in S2 and dissolve them in 100-300 ml of a third organic solvent; S3.2, Weigh a certain amount of the hydrogen-bonded monomer and bismaleimide prepared in S1 respectively, and dissolve them in 50 - 250 mL of the third organic solvent. The weight ratio of the linear copolymer prepared in S2 to the hydrogen-bonded monomer and bismaleimide prepared in S1 is 100:(40 - 90):(30 - 50); S3.3, Mix the solution in S3.1 with the solution in S3.2 evenly, pour the evenly mixed solution into a tetrafluoro mold, and react at 60°C - 70°C for 3 - 4 days. After the solvent evaporates, a double-network toughened elastomer crosslinked by hydrogen bonds and DA is prepared.

On the one hand, it makes full use of the characteristic that the hydrogen-bond crosslinked network can effectively dissipate energy when it breaks under external force, significantly improving the toughness and mechanical strength of the elastomer. On the other hand, the high-strength DA bonds help the elastomer to quickly recover its shape after deformation, effectively ensuring the anti-creep performance and long-term stability. In addition, the hydrogen bonds and DA bonds can break and recombine at a specific temperature, thus endowing the ultra-thin wearing course asphalt binder with a powerful self-healing ability.
