Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of inorganic non-metallic materials, and in particular to a freeze-resistant and UV-resistant super-hydrophobic cement mortar and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cement-based materials have become one of the most widely used building materials in the world due to their excellent mechanical properties, simple preparation and use methods, and low cost. In water conservancy projects and other important infrastructure, the most common damage to cement-based materials including concrete in their use scenarios includes wear damage, chemical erosion, permeability damage, and freeze-thaw damage. Research and analysis of the mechanism of action of these damage phenomena have found that the reduction in the durability of these cement-based materials is directly or indirectly related to the water that penetrates into the material. Cement-based materials are hydrophilic materials. Therefore, in hydraulic construction applications, water that comes into contact with cement-based materials can easily adhere to the surface of the material and penetrate into the interior. Long-term accumulation will lead to damage to the surface and interior of the cement-based materials. How to ensure the efficient operation of cement-based materials in water environments is a key issue.

[0003] Currently, most protective materials used in my country's water conservancy and hydropower projects are organic polymers, such as epoxy resins, polyureas, and polyurethanes. However, these materials can suffer from varying degrees of bubbling and tearing in long-term humid environments. Furthermore, as my country's water conservancy and hydropower construction continues to move toward higher altitudes, these materials are unable to withstand the cold and high UV radiation conditions found at high altitudes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the materials' resistance to water and UV radiation to meet the long-term operational requirements of cement-based materials in high-altitude water conservancy and hydropower projects.

[0004] It should be noted that the above statements are only used to provide background technical information related to this application and do not necessarily constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

In addition, if the minimum range value 1 and 2 are listed, and if the maximum range value 3,4 and 5 are listed, then the following range can all be expected: 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 2-4 and 2-5.

[0035] At present, the methods for improving the hydrophobicity of cement-based materials are mainly divided into two categories: surface hydrophobic modification and overall hydrophobic modification. In the related surface modification technology, a super-hydrophobic surface with a contact angle of up to 162° is prepared by spraying a nano-silica suspension modified with polymethylhydrogensiloxane onto the surface of concrete. However, after the surface is damaged, the hydrophobicity of the material will drop significantly. Overall modification constructs a rough surface by incorporating low-surface-energy octyltriethoxysiloxane to prepare a low-cost super-hydrophobic concrete coating with a contact angle of up to 161°, but the large amount of hydrophobic agent added will affect the strength development of cement-based materials. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method that can simultaneously improve the overall hydrophobicity and durability of cement-based materials and ensure a wide range of applications.

[0036] In this application, a super-hydrophobic cement mortar with excellent hydrophobicity, freeze-thaw resistance and UV resistance was prepared by adding isobutyltriethoxysilane and titanium dioxide, providing certain technical support for the application of protective materials in high-altitude areas.

[0037] In the first aspect of the present application, the present application proposes a super-hydrophobic cement mortar, which is calculated by 100 parts by mass, including 0.66-2.02 parts of isobutyltriethoxysilane, 38.91-51.28 parts of sand, 0.17-0.81 parts of titanium dioxide, 32.57-41.24 parts of cement, and 13.47-19.8 parts of water. The present application reduces the surface energy of super-hydrophobic cement mortar by adding isobutyltriethoxysilane. After isobutyltriethoxysilane is hydrolyzed, its hydrolyzate will carry three hydroxyl groups (-OH), which can be connected to the cement surface by dehydration condensation reaction with the hydroxyl groups on the cement surface, and these hydrolyzates carry low surface energy functional groups -CH2 and -CH3, forming a hydrophobic film on the cement surface, thereby improving the hydrophobic properties of super-hydrophobic cement mortar. Adding titanium dioxide simultaneously improves the roughness of super-hydrophobic cement mortar, on the one hand part of titanium dioxide is distributed on the surface of super-hydrophobic cement mortar, titanium dioxide has high specific surface area and abundant surface microstructure to help construct the rough structure of surface, reduces the contact area on the surface of water droplets and super-hydrophobic cement mortar, reaches the purpose of improving hydrophobicity; On the other hand part of titanium dioxide fills the pores of nanometer level inside super-hydrophobic cement mortar, this not only makes super-hydrophobic cement mortar more dense, reduces water absorption rate, also improves the roughness of super-hydrophobic cement mortar on micro-nano size, reaches the effect of improving hydrophobicity; At the same time, the addition of titanium dioxide balances the impact of using isobutyltriethoxysilane as hydrophobizing agent on cement-based material strength to a certain extent. In addition, the appropriate addition of sand, cement and water is conducive to improving the strength and durability of super-hydrophobic cement mortar. Thus, the hydrophobic cement mortar has excellent hydrophobicity, freeze-thaw resistance and UV resistance.

[0038] In addition, the super-hydrophobic cement mortar according to the above embodiment of the present application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the average diameter of titanium dioxide is 20 nm to 50 nm, for example, 20 nm, 25 nm, 30 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 45 nm, or 50 nm, etc. Thus, the titanium dioxide has a high specific surface area and a rich surface microstructure, which is beneficial to improving the hydrophobicity of superhydrophobic cement mortar.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the diameter of the sand is 0.1 mm-0.25 mm, for example, 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm or 0.25 mm, etc. This is beneficial for improving the density of the super-hydrophobic cement mortar while ensuring the strength.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the cement comprises ordinary Portland cement with a strength grade of P.O.42.5, thereby facilitating the improvement of the strength of the super-hydrophobic cement mortar.

[0042] In the second aspect of the present application, the present application proposes a method for preparing super hydrophobic cement mortar, referring to Figure 1 , the method comprising:

[0043] S1: Mix isobutyltriethoxysilane with water to obtain a liquid mixture.

[0044] As an example, isobutyltriethoxysilane can be mixed with deionized water and dispersed using a high-speed homogenizer with a rotation speed set to 8000 rpm and a dispersion time of 5 minutes to obtain a liquid mixture.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of isobutyltriethoxysilane to cement is (0.02-0.05:1), for example, 0.02:1, 0.03:1, 0.04:1, or 0.05:1. This helps to ensure the strength of the superhydrophobic cement mortar, reduce the surface energy of the superhydrophobic cement mortar, and improve the hydrophobicity of the superhydrophobic cement mortar.

[0046] S2: Mix sand, titanium dioxide and cement to obtain a solid mixture.

[0047] As an example, sand and titanium dioxide powder may be mixed and stirred with a stirrer for 3 minutes, and then cement is added and stirred for 5 minutes to obtain a solid mixture.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of sand to titanium dioxide is 1:(0.005-0.02), for example, 1:0.005, 1:0.008, 1:0.01, 1:0.015, 1:0.018, or 1:0.02, etc. This is beneficial to improving the density and hydrophobicity of the superhydrophobic cement mortar.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of sand to cement is (1-1.5):1, for example, 1:1, 1:1.1, 1:1.2, 1:1.3, 1:1.4, or 1:1.5, etc. This is beneficial to improving the strength and durability of the superhydrophobic cement mortar.

[0050] S3: Mixing the liquid mixture with the solid mixture to obtain cement paste.

[0051] As an example, the liquid mixture obtained in step S1 can be added to the solid mixture obtained in step S2, stirred at a low speed for 3 minutes, and then stirred at a high speed for 3 minutes.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of the liquid mixture to the solid mixture is (0.4-0.5):1, for example, 0.4:1, 0.42:1, 0.44:1, 0.46:1, 0.48:1, or 0.5:1, etc. This facilitates more effective modification of the solid mixture, thereby improving the strength and hydrophobicity of the superhydrophobic cement mortar.

[0053] S4: Pour the cement slurry into a mold and vibrate it. After the vibration, cover the surface of the cement slurry with a copper mesh to obtain a superhydrophobic cement mortar.

[0054] In this step, covering the surface of the cement slurry with a copper mesh can improve the roughness of the super-hydrophobic cement mortar. Specifically, an 80-mesh copper mesh can be used.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the method for preparing super-hydrophobic cement mortar further comprises: placing the super-hydrophobic cement mortar in a standard curing room with a temperature of 20°C-25°C (such as 20°C, 21°C, 22°C, 23°C, 24°C or 25°C, etc.) and a relative humidity of 90%-95% (such as 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94% or 95%, etc.) for curing for 3 days-7 days (such as 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days or 7 days, etc.), and then drying at room temperature to obtain a super-hydrophobic cement mortar block. Thus, it is beneficial to promote the full hydration of cement, and then obtain a super-hydrophobic cement mortar block with a certain strength.

[0056] The above method of the present application is simple to operate and can obtain super-hydrophobic cement mortar with excellent hydrophobicity and durability, which is conducive to practical application in engineering and ensures its applicability in high-altitude areas.
