Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of civil engineering materials, and in particular to microwave-induced concrete self-reinforced particles, a preparation method and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of the low-carbon transformation of the concrete industry, the proportion of solid waste cementitious materials (SCM) with a low carbon footprint in concrete is increasing, and its dosage can even reach 75%. With such a large dosage, there may still be a large number of active components that have not been effectively activated in the late stage of hydration in the concrete, which is not conducive to the effective utilization of solid waste. To this end, the common practice is to use chemical means such as activators to more fully utilize the activity of solid waste cementitious materials SCM in the early stage of hydration. However, these activators are usually added to the mixture during molding, which usually brings about problems such as accelerated coagulation of cement paste and increased shrinkage. Therefore, the dosage of activator should not be too high, which makes the reaction degree of the added solid waste cementitious components low.

[0003] Due to their rapid, targeted heating and ability to propagate through the concrete matrix, microwaves can be used as an excellent controlled-release excitation signal, enabling the active release of admixtures from concrete. Researchers at home and abroad have conducted a wealth of inspiring work in diverse fields, including 3D printing, rust prevention, and self-repair.
