Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of road engineering materials, and specifically to a steel bridge deck epoxy resin tack coat material having high bonding strength, excellent low-temperature toughness and rapid curing properties, as well as a preparation method and engineering application thereof based on multi-scale synergistic toughening. Background Art

[0002] Steel bridge deck pavement is prone to defects such as potholes and cracks in complex environments such as heavy traffic, temperature cycles, and rainwater erosion. Tack coats are required to ensure reliable bonding between the repair layer and the original pavement. Existing epoxy tack coats offer high strength and excellent temperature resistance, but they exhibit high crosslink density and significant brittleness after curing, making them susceptible to interfacial cracking at low temperatures. Asphalt tack coats offer excellent flexibility but lack high-temperature stability, making them difficult to meet long-term service requirements. While existing technologies have improved epoxy brittleness by adding toughening agents, they generally suffer from the following drawbacks:

[0003] Single toughening method: Traditional toughening agents (such as liquid nitrile rubber) are dispersed only through physical blending, which has poor interfacial compatibility with epoxy resin and is prone to phase separation after long-term service;

[0004] Imbalance between curing speed and flexibility: Although fast curing agents can shorten the curing time, the cross-linking density of the cured product is high, the elongation at break is usually less than 150%, and the low-temperature deformation capacity is insufficient;

[0005] Insufficient interface bonding reliability: There is an oxide layer and a humid environment on the steel bridge deck. The traditional adhesive layer oil and the substrate are mainly physically adsorbed, and the bonding strength is easily affected by the environment.

[0006] In response to the above problems, the present invention proposes a dual-active end-group chemical grafting and nano-dispersion synergistic toughening system. Through molecular-level toughening agent design, nano-filler synergistic modification and interfacial chemical bonding technology, the integrated improvement of the "rapid curing-high toughness-weather resistance" of the tack layer oil is achieved, filling the gap in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an epoxy resin tack coat material suitable for steel bridge deck repair. By designing a multi-scale toughening system, this material addresses the "rigidity-flexibility imbalance" problem of conventional epoxy tack coats and achieves the following performance breakthroughs:

[0009] High toughness and deformation coordination: elongation at break ≥ 250%, no cracks when bent at -10℃, adaptable to deformation of steel bridge decks;

[0157] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0158] Multi-scale toughening mechanism

[0159] Molecular-level toughening: The diepoxy end groups of PU-ET are chemically grafted with epoxy resin to form a cross-linked network with dispersed flexible segments, increasing the elongation at break to over 250%;

[0160] Nano-level toughening: EP-1861 elastic micro-regions are evenly dispersed with a spacing of ≤200nm, effectively hindering crack propagation, and the low-temperature flexural modulus is ≤1.2GPa (-10℃);

[0161] Interface enhancement: Silane coupling agent forms Si-O-Fe covalent bonds, and the bonding strength on the wet base surface is ≥2.8MPa, which is 40% higher than that of traditional epoxy.

[0162] Gradient cross-linking density design

[0163] The general-purpose epoxy resin (epoxy value 0.48-0.54eq / 100g) works synergistically with the epoxy group of PU-ET to form a "rigid skeleton-flexible chain segment" gradient cross-linked network with a storage modulus of 1.5-2.0GPa at 25°C and a loss factor tanδ≥0.3, combining load-bearing capacity and deformation compliance.

[0164] Fast curing and weather resistance

[0165] The latent fast curing agent can achieve surface drying time of ≤3.5h at 25℃. Combined with nano-fillers and anti-UV structural design, the tensile strength retention rate after 500h of UV aging is ≥85%, meeting the long-term service requirements of steel bridge decks.
