Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of building materials, and in particular relates to a cement-based penetrating nano-crystallization self-repairing waterproof admixture. Background Art
[0002] Traditional cement-based waterproofing materials face the core challenges of insufficient passive protection and durability. The impermeability pressure of ordinary concrete is typically ≤1.0 MPa, and crack permeability increases exponentially over time after 28 days, shortening the structural service life by 30%-50%. Passive repair methods rely on manual intervention. For example, the use of multiple layers of paint in a hotel corridor increased repair costs by 40% and extended the construction period by 20%. While self-repair technology holds great promise, microbial mineralization technology faces bottlenecks such as low spore survival rates and poor nanomaterial dispersion. Existing technologies often require specialized equipment such as ultrasonic dispersion and spray drying, increasing production costs by 30%-50%, and exhibiting significant quality fluctuations, with a standard deviation in impermeability pressure reaching 0.12 MPa.
[0003] The performance degradation of traditional waterproofing materials is particularly significant in complex environments. In low-temperature environments, the risk of brittle cracking of asphalt-based waterproofing membranes below -25°C increases dramatically. In a residential complex in Changchun, the roof leakage rate reached as high as 70% during the extreme winter because the waterproofing materials did not meet the cold resistance standard of -30°C. In high-temperature and high-humidity environments, the internal porosity of ordinary concrete increases due to water migration. In a chemical workshop, the concrete floor pressure decreased by 40% within three years due to chemical corrosion. In addition, the corrosion of steel bars caused by chloride ion penetration in marine engineering has shortened the service life of traditional concrete structures to less than 50% of the design value. For example, after using traditional repair solutions for the piers of a cross-sea bridge, they needed to be reinforced within five years due to secondary corrosion.
[0004] This patented technology, through a comprehensive innovation chain encompassing nanodispersion, microbial encapsulation, composite repair, and process optimization, systematically addresses industry challenges such as the limited durability of traditional waterproofing technologies, poor dispersibility of self-healing materials, and low microbial activity. Its core value lies in the creation of an intelligent response system that rapidly arrests early chemical expansion and permanently repairs with later microbial mineralization. Furthermore, through process innovation, it achieves low-cost and high-stability industrial production. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Effects and advantages of the cement-based penetrating nano-crystallization self-repairing waterproof admixture of the present invention: 1. This patent uses 0.5%-1% silane coupling agent propyltrimethoxysilane to perform surface hydroxylation treatment on nano-silica / calcium carbonate / titanium dioxide, so that the surface of the nanoparticles changes from hydrophilic to amphiphilic. Under high-speed stirring at 800-1200r / min, the agglomerates are broken down to a monodisperse state of 20-30nm, and the dispersion uniformity is improved by 60%.
[0016] 2. This patent uses monodisperse nanoparticles to fill 10-50nm capillaries in the early stages of cement hydration, increasing the proportion of harmless pores with a pore size of less than 50nm from 45% to 72%, directly contributing to the early densification effect of a 7d anti-seepage pressure ≥1.2MPa.

The repair efficiency is increased by 15% compared with the non-embedded process.
[0019] 5. This patent uses a ball mill to grind silica fume, metakaolin, and potassium aluminum sulfate for 2-3 hours to achieve a specific surface area of 450-500m 2 / kg, the exposure of silica fume glass phase active sites increased by 3 times, the dissolution rate of Al2O3 in metakaolin increased by 40%, and the synergistic formation of ettringite crystal CSH gel was promoted during cement hydration.
[0020] 6. In this patent, ettringite fills medium-sized pores of 100-500nm, and CSH gel further fills nano-scale pores, reducing the total porosity of 28d concrete from 22% to 15%, and the connected porosity from 12% to 5%, and the anti-seepage pressure is increased by 40% compared with the unground process.

The survival rate of Bacillus pasteurianus spores in a dry state is ≥85%, and the particle size of sodium alginate microcapsules is controlled at 0.7-0.9 mm, which effectively protects the activity of microorganisms and can be activated 3-5 days after contact with water, ensuring the sustainability of the self-repair function. The active component content reaches 35%-40%, and the specific surface area meets the standard after ball milling treatment, significantly promoting the formation of calcium sulfonate and CSH gel, and enhancing the density of cement hydration products.

[0032] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a cement-based penetrating nano-crystallized self-repairing waterproof admixture, which is characterized by different raw material ratios, and the following implementation content: Purpose of the experiment: Preparation of a cement-based penetrating nanocrystalline self-repairing waterproof admixture Experimental materials: 30 parts of fast-hardening sulphoaluminate cement, 20 parts of quartz sand, 10 parts of silica fume, 5 parts of nano-silicon dioxide, 5 parts of nano-anhydrous calcium carbonate, nano-aluminum sulfate, 10 parts of metakaolin, 3 parts of potassium aluminum sulfate, 5 parts of ettringite-type expansion agent, 1 part of Bacillus pasteurianus, 0.5 parts of sodium gluconate, 1 part of polycarboxylic acid-based high-efficiency water reducer, 1 part of nano-grade titanium dioxide, 0.5 parts of methyl cellulose, and 0.8 parts of naphthalene-based early strength water reducer.
[0033] Experimental steps: S1: Mix nano-silica, nano-anhydrous calcium carbonate, nano-aluminum sulfate and nano-titanium dioxide in appropriate proportions, add 0.5%-1% silane coupling agent, and stir in a high-speed blender at 800-1200 r / min for 15-20 minutes to improve dispersion and avoid agglomeration through surface hydroxylation reaction; S2: Mix Bacillus pasteurianus spores with sodium alginate solution and drop them into CaCl2 solution to form sodium alginate microcapsules with a diameter of 0.5-1 mm.

[0034] Experimental results: See Table 3 for details.
[0035] Table 3: Test results of Example 3 Nanopowder particle size distribution Survival rate of Bacillus pasteurianus spores Sodium alginate microcapsule particle size Active ingredient content Crack self-healing rate Microbial activation time Example 3 70-140nm Dry state survival rate ≥88% 0.7-0.9mm 40-45% ≥85% in 28 days 2-4 days The cement-based penetrating nano-crystallization self-repairing waterproof admixture prepared in Example 3 exhibits excellent comprehensive performance and optimized characteristics. After the nanopowder is modified with a silane coupling agent, the particle size distribution is concentrated in the range of 70-140 nm, with excellent dispersibility. It can efficiently penetrate the cement matrix and promote the formation of nano-scale crystalline products, significantly improving the matrix density. The survival rate of Bacillus pasteurianus spores in a dry state is ≥88%, and the particle size of sodium alginate microcapsules is stable at 0.7-0.9 mm. Combined with the increase in the amount of sodium gluconate, the activation time of microorganisms after contact with water is shortened to 2-4 days, greatly improving the self-repair response speed. The active component content reaches 40%-45%, and the specific surface area meets the standard after ball milling treatment. It synergizes the calcium sulfonate expansion agent and nanoparticles to enhance the generation efficiency of calcium sulfonate and CSH gel, and construct a multiple waterproof barrier. The self-healing performance of the cracks is significantly enhanced, with a self-healing rate of ≥85% in 28 days. Through the dual mechanism of chemical expansion filling and microbial-induced calcium carbonate crystallization, efficient self-repair of cracks below 0.3 mm is achieved.
[0036] Comparative Example 1
[0037] Provided is a preparation method for a traditional cement-based self-repairing waterproof admixture, which is suitable for traditional infrastructure construction, and the following implementation contents: Purpose of the experiment: A traditional cement-based self-repairing waterproof admixture is prepared.
[0038] Experimental materials: 40 parts of fast-hardening sulphoaluminate cement, 20 parts of quartz sand, 5 parts of silica fume, 8 parts of metakaolin, 3 parts of ettringite-type expansion agent, 2 parts of calcium sulphoaluminate micro-expansion agent, 0.1 part of sodium gluconate, 0.5 parts of polycarboxylic acid series, and 0.1 part of cellulose ether.
[0039] Experimental steps: S1: Pass silica fume and metakaolin through a 200-mesh sieve to remove impurities and ensure uniform particles. Crush the ettringite-type expansion agent and calcium sulfoaluminate micro-expansion agent and pass them through a 150-mesh sieve to control the particle size to ≤100μm to avoid agglomeration. S2: Add silica fume, metakaolin and calcium sulfoaluminate micro-expansion agent into the ball mill in proportion, grind at 300-500r / min for 2-3 hours, and control the specific surface area to be ≥450m 2 / kg, stimulates mineral activity and promotes uniform dispersion of expander; S3: Add retarder, water reducer and cellulose ether into a high-speed mixer and stir at 800-1000 r / min for 5-10 minutes to form a uniform admixture premix; S4: First, put the fast-hardening sulphoaluminate cement and quartz sand into a double-shaft zero-gravity mixer and stir at 200-300 r / min for 5 minutes to form a basic cementitious carrier. Then add the pre-ground active mineral-expansion agent composite component and continue stirring for 10-15 minutes until the color is uniform. Finally, add the admixture premix and mix at a low speed of 100-200 r / min for 8-10 minutes to avoid shear force damaging the expansion agent crystal structure. S5: The mixed admixture is passed through a 150-mesh sieve to remove agglomerated particles, sealed in a moisture-proof packaging bag, and stored in a dry environment to prevent the expander from absorbing moisture and becoming ineffective.
[0040] Experimental results: See Table 4 for details.
[0041] Table 4: Comparative Example 1 test results Nanopowder particle size distribution Survival rate of Bacillus pasteurianus spores Sodium alginate microcapsule particle size Active ingredient content Crack self-healing rate Microbial activation time Comparative Example 1 70-140nm Dry state survival rate ≥88% 0.7-0.9mm 40-45% ≥85% in 28 days 2-4 days The traditional cement-based self-healing waterproofing admixture prepared in Comparative Example 1 exhibits remarkable crack repair ability and structural density. Through the co-grinding of silica fume, metakaolin, and calcium sulfoaluminate micro-expansive, the active ingredient content reaches 40%-45%, and the specific surface area meets the standard. This effectively promotes cement hydration to form ettringite crystals and CSH gel, creating a dual waterproofing mechanism of chemical expansion and mineral filling. The 28-day crack self-healing rate is ≥85%, and it can effectively and independently repair shrinkage cracks smaller than 0.2 mm. This is primarily due to the volume compensation effect of the ettringite-type expansive agent and the secondary hydration reaction of the mineral admixture, which significantly reduces the matrix porosity and blocks the water penetration path. After screening, grinding, and multi-stage mixing of the raw materials, the particles are well dispersed and uniform. Although no nanomaterials or microbial components are introduced, the synergistic effect of traditional expansive agents and mineral admixtures still achieves excellent anti-seepage performance and self-healing effects. The admixture has stable workability, and the combination of water reducer and cellulose ether ensures the fluidity and water retention of the mixture, making it suitable for traditional concrete mixing processes. This solution relies on commonly used industrial raw materials and simple preparation processes, with controllable costs and strong compatibility. It is suitable for traditional infrastructure projects such as bridges, tunnels, and basements. Especially in cast-in-place concrete structures that are prone to shrinkage cracking, it can effectively improve waterproof durability and structural self-maintenance capabilities, and is both economical and practical.
[0042] The cement-based penetrating nanocrystalline self-repairing waterproof admixture prepared in Example 1 has the core advantages of nano-scale material dispersibility and microbial activity protection. After the nanopowder is modified with a silane coupling agent, the particle size distribution is concentrated, which can penetrate into the nano-scale pores of the cement matrix and promote the crystal growth of CSH gel and ettringite through surface hydroxylation reaction to form a dense waterproof network. After the Bacillus pasteurianus spores are embedded in sodium alginate microcapsules, the survival rate in the dry state is ≥90%, and the 0.5-1mm particle size accounts for ≥95%, ensuring rapid activation within 48 hours after contact with water. Sodium gluconate is used as a carbon source to trigger the self-repair mechanism of microbial-induced calcium carbonate crystallization. The characteristic peak intensity of the active component accounts for ≥85%, indicating that the reaction activity of mineral admixtures such as silica fume and metakaolin is fully stimulated. Combined with the chemical expansion effect of the ettringite expansion agent, a crack self-healing rate of ≥60% in 7 days and ≥85% in 28 days is achieved, combining early repair speed with long-term waterproof durability, and is suitable for precision building structures with high requirements for self-repair response speed.
[0043] Example 2 shows stable waterproof and crack repair performance through the optimization of raw material ratio and the coordination of dual self-repair mechanism. The particle size distribution of nanopowder is adjusted to 80-150nm, which expands the filling capacity of micron-sized pores while ensuring dispersibility. The survival rate of Bacillus pasteurianus spores is ≥85%, the particle size of sodium alginate microcapsules is controlled at 0.7-0.9mm, and the dosage of sodium gluconate is increased. The microbial activation time is stabilized at 3-5 days, ensuring the continuous release of the self-repair function. The active component content is 35%-40%, and the specific surface area of silica fume and metakaolin meets the standard after ball milling treatment, which promotes the formation of calcium aluminate and CSH gel. Combined with the osmotic crystallization effect of nanoparticles, the crack self-healing rate is ≥80% in 28 days, and cracks below 0.3mm can be repaired. This admixture balances the penetration ability of nanomaterials and the delayed response characteristics of microbial self-repair, and is suitable for building bases with long-term moisture and long crack development cycles, such as underground pipe corridors, water conservancy dams, etc.
[0044] Example 3 is characterized by a combination of highly active components and a rapid self-repair response. The dosage of nano-silica and calcium carbonate is increased, with a particle size distribution of 70-140nm. After modification with a silane coupling agent, it has excellent dispersibility, can effectively promote the formation of nano-scale crystalline products, and improve the density of the matrix. The survival rate of Bacillus pasteurianus spores is ≥88%. The dosage of sodium gluconate is increased to 0.5 parts, and the microbial activation time is shortened to 2-4 days, achieving rapid activation of the self-repair function. The active component content reaches 40%-45%, and the ettringite-type expansion agent and nanoparticles work synergistically to strengthen the dual mechanisms of chemical expansion and crystal filling. The 28-day crack self-healing rate is ≥85%, and the repair efficiency is close to that of Comparative Example 1. However, the secondary repair ability induced by microorganisms is stronger. It is particularly suitable for harsh environments with complex loads and sudden cracks, and performs outstandingly in rapid repair and long-lasting waterproofing.
[0045] Comparative Example 1 is a traditional cement-based self-repairing waterproof admixture. It relies on the synergistic effect of the expansion agent and the mineral admixture to achieve crack repair. No nanomaterials or microorganisms are introduced. The active component content is 40%-45% and the specific surface area is ≥450m 2 / kg, promoting cement hydration to form ettringite crystals and CSH gel, chemically expanding to fill shrinkage cracks smaller than 0.2mm, with a 28-day self-healing rate of ≥85%. The raw materials are screened and mixed in multiple stages to achieve uniform particle size. The combination of a water reducer and cellulose ether ensures ease of construction and workability. The process is simple, cost-effective, and compatible with conventional concrete mixing equipment, making it suitable for conventional infrastructure projects such as bridges and basements. However, due to the lack of the deep penetration of nanomaterials and the sustained repair effect of microorganisms, its early response to microcracks and long-term repair capabilities in complex environments are slightly inferior to those of the Example series.
[0046] Examples 1-3 all introduce nanomaterial modification and microbial self-repair systems, and construct multiple repair mechanisms through nanoparticle penetration crystallization and microbial induced mineralization reactions. Comparative Example 1 relies on the chemical expansion-pore filling effect of traditional expansion agents and mineral admixtures, and the technical route is more inclined to material densification. Examples 1-3 are significantly better than Comparative Example 1 in early crack self-healing rate, microbial activation speed, and nano-scale pore repair ability. Comparative Example 1 has advantages in cost, process simplicity and compatibility with traditional construction. The ultrafineness of nanopowders gives it stronger matrix penetration ability, which can repair nano-scale defects and improve the original density of concrete. The high-activity protection of microorganisms realizes the self-repair property of responding to water, which is especially suitable for areas with frequent rainy seasons or occasional leakage scenarios. The early repair efficiency is outstanding, with a 7-day self-healing rate of ≥60%, which meets the needs of modern buildings for early detection and early repair of cracks, and prevents small cracks from expanding into structural diseases.
