[0002] The polymer waterproof mortar is a waterproof material prepared from water-based polymer powder or latex, ordinary Portland cement and special aggregate as main components, and various modified additives.
[0003] Since the polymer is usually introduced into the cement-based material in the form of an emulsion, the use of emulsifiers is inevitable. The emulsifiers can make the polymer particles uniformly dispersed in water to form a stable emulsion system by reducing the interfacial tension, which can make the polymer uniformly distributed in the cement paste, avoid agglomeration, and thus effectively play the roles of toughening, waterproofing and bonding enhancement. However, the traditional emulsifiers (such as anionic surfactants) contain sulfate, chloride and other components, which can interfere with the hydration reaction of minerals in cement, affect the crystalline morphology and rate of hydration products, and cause the performance to decrease. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0016] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. Also, any method and material similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice of the present application. The description herein of preferred methods and materials is intended to be only exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the application.
[0017] The endpoints of the ranges and any values described herein are not limited to the precise values stated. The ranges and values should be construed to be roughly about the ranges or values. For ranges, the endpoints are included and the ranges are inclusive of the values between the endpoints. For values, the values between the endpoints are included.
[0018] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art mentioned in the background, the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a waterproof polymer cement mortar, which comprises the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts of Portland cement, 100-150 parts of aggregate, 15-25 parts of epoxy resin emulsion, 1-3 parts of additive, and 40-80 parts of water. In the components, the Portland cement generates hydration reaction after being contacted with water to generate products such as hydrated calcium silicate and ettringite, thereby forming a rigid three-dimensional network structure to provide the base strength and bearing capacity of the mortar. The aggregate acts as a rigid skeleton to bear external load, thereby significantly improving the compressive strength and wear resistance of the mortar. Meanwhile, the aggregate can inhibit the shrinkage of the cement matrix through the skeleton restraint effect to reduce the risk of cracking. The epoxy resin emulsion can form a film in the cement paste to form an organic-inorganic interpenetrating network, thereby enhancing the flexibility of the mortar. In addition, the polymer film formed by the epoxy resin emulsion can penetrate into the micropores of the base layer to enhance the interfacial adhesion of the mortar through physical anchoring and chemical bonding.
[0019] The epoxy resin emulsion comprises epoxy resin, modified curing agent, and water, and the raw materials of the modified curing agent comprise trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether, polyether amine, and triethylene tetramine. The triethylene tetramine is a fatty amine curing agent of polyethylene polyamine, which has the advantages of low viscosity, high maturity, and many active sites. Therefore, the triethylene tetramine is selected as the main reaction active component of the curing agent. The trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether is a trifunctional epoxy monomer containing three epoxy groups, and the trimethylolpropane skeleton in the molecule can provide higher crosslinking density for the epoxy resin. The polyether segment of the polyether amine has strong hydrophilicity and belongs to a non-ionic water-soluble segment, which does not ionize in an aqueous solution and is less affected by strong electrolytes (calcium and magnesium ions) and strong acids and strong bases. Therefore, the polyether amine can maintain stable water solubility in the cement hydration environment, thereby endowing the modified curing agent with stable self-emulsifying property without the need for additional emulsifiers.
[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of the epoxy resin, the modified curing agent and water in the epoxy resin emulsion is 10:(1-3):(4-6). If the content of the modified curing agent in the epoxy resin emulsion is too low, the stability of the epoxy resin emulsion is poor, and the curing effect of the epoxy resin is worse. If the content of the modified curing agent is too high, the viscosity of the epoxy resin emulsion is too large. Therefore, the mass ratio of the epoxy resin, the modified curing agent and water is set to 10:(1-3):(4-6).
[0021] In some embodiments of the present application, the polyetheramine is polyetheramine D230 or polyetheramine D400. Both polyetheramine D230 and polyetheramine D400 are bifunctional polyetheramines, containing ether bonds and terminal amino groups in the molecular structure, and have flexibility and reactivity. The molecular weight of polyetheramine D230 is about 230, and it has a higher amine value, a lower equivalent of active hydrogen, a faster curing reaction speed, a larger hardness after curing, a molecular weight of polyetheramine D400 is about 400, and it has a slower curing speed and better flexibility after curing.
[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, the aggregate is medium sand, the particle size of the medium sand is <5mm, and the clay content is <3%. The gradation of the aggregate directly affects the density and porosity. The particle size distribution of the medium sand is between that of fine sand and coarse sand, which can more evenly fill the voids between the cement particles and form a dense mortar structure. When the sand particle size exceeds 5mm, the shrinkage cracks at the interface between the mortar and the aggregate increase significantly, resulting in a decrease in the impermeability of the mortar. When the clay content is too high (more than 3%), the soil particles (such as clay minerals) will wrap the cement particles, hindering the hydration reaction, and reducing the strength and durability of the mortar.
[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the additives include water reducing agents and defoaming agents. The water reducing agent is one of polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent, melamine water reducing agent and naphthalene series water reducing agent. The defoaming agent is an organic silicon defoaming agent. The water reducing agent can reduce the water-cement ratio of concrete or mortar, achieve the following functions: reduce water consumption while maintaining or increasing the fluidity and plasticity of the paste, facilitate construction pouring, reduce the pores formed by water evaporation, improve the compressive strength and impermeability, inhibit shrinkage cracks, reduce the penetration of erosive media, and prolong the service life of the structure. The defoaming agent can reduce the foam generated during construction due to stirring or chemical action, and avoid structural looseness caused by residual air bubbles.
[0024] The second aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a preparation method of waterproof polymer cement mortar, which comprises: mixing silicate cement, aggregate and additives sufficiently, then adding water and epoxy resin emulsion, stirring for 3-5 min to obtain cement mortar. The mixing of the silicate cement, the aggregate and the additives can be carried out by using a stirrer, the stirring speed can be 50-60 r / min, and the stirring time can be 5-8 min, so that the silicate cement, the aggregate and the additives can be mixed sufficiently.
[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the preparation method of the epoxy resin emulsion comprises: mixing the epoxy resin and the modified curing agent, stirring for 0.5-1 min, adding water, and continuing to stir for 1-2 min to obtain the epoxy resin emulsion. In the mixing of the epoxy resin and the modified curing agent, a high-speed mixer can be used, and the stirring speed is 1500-3000 r / min, so that the epoxy resin and the modified curing agent can be fully emulsified.
[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the preparation method of the modified curing agent comprises: taking trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether and polyether amine into a reaction kettle, heating and warming to 60-80℃ under nitrogen atmosphere, and reacting for 2-4 h to obtain an intermediate product; taking the intermediate product and triethylenetetramine into the reaction kettle, heating and warming to 60-80℃ under nitrogen atmosphere, and reacting for 1-3 h to obtain the modified curing agent. Trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether is used as a connecting core, so that the amino group of the polyether amine reacts with the epoxy group of the trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether to generate the intermediate product, and then the amino group of the triethylenetetramine further reacts with the remaining epoxy group in the intermediate product to generate the modified curing agent. The modified curing agent contains three main characteristic segments: the trimethylolpropane in the trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether provides a skeleton, the polyether segment of the polyether amine provides good and stable water solubility, and the fatty amine segment of the triethylenetetramine, in which the primary and secondary fatty amines have water solubility and strong reactivity, provides main curing capacity.
[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of the trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether to the polyether amine is 1:1.1-1.3, and the mass ratio of the intermediate product to the triethylenetetramine is 1:2-3. By setting the mass ratio of the trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether to the polyether amine to 1:1.1-1.3, sufficient epoxy groups can be reserved for subsequent reactions, and by setting the mass ratio of the intermediate product to the triethylenetetramine to 1:2-3, the epoxy groups of the intermediate product can be completely reacted.
