Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cement-based composite materials technology, specifically to a lightweight, heat-insulating cement-based composite material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional cement-based materials, such as ordinary concrete and mortar, suffer from drawbacks such as high density, poor thermal insulation, and susceptibility to cracking, limiting their application in building energy conservation and lightweight structures. Taking building exterior walls as an example, the thermal conductivity of traditional concrete walls is generally higher than 1.5 W / (m·K), making it difficult to meet the modern building requirements for energy savings exceeding 75%. Furthermore, the material's heavy weight increases the structural load, limiting its application in high-rise buildings and large-span projects. In addition, traditional materials have insufficient crack resistance, easily developing cracks due to temperature stress or load, leading to insulation layer failure and reduced durability. However, existing lightweight insulating cement-based composite materials have relatively high thermal conductivity, further reducing the insulation effect of cement-based composite materials.
[0003] The existing defects of lightweight insulating cement-based composite materials are:
[0004] 1. Patent document CN107540334A discloses a magnesium oxychloride cement-based lightweight straw composite material and its preparation method, "comprising the following raw material components in the following mass ratio: 43-51 parts of lightly calcined magnesium powder, 10-15 parts of magnesium chloride, 40-44 parts of water, 0.40-0.53 parts of phosphoric acid, 0.5-1.85 parts of hydrogen peroxide, and straw fiber, wherein the bulk volume of straw fiber is 0.75-1.25 times the volume of cement paste; the magnesium oxide content of the lightly calcined magnesium powder is 95%, and the activity is 68%. The magnesium oxychloride cement-based lightweight straw composite material provided by this invention has the advantages of being green and environmentally friendly, and having thermal insulation properties." However, the existing lightweight thermal insulation cement-based composite materials have a high thermal conductivity, which reduces the thermal insulation effect of the cement-based composite materials.
[0005] 2. Patent document CN109293295A discloses a homogeneous composite material thermal insulation template and its production method, comprising the following components by weight: 600-700 kg of silicate cement; 7-10 kg of lightweight vacuum-foamed closed-cell thermal insulation particles; 12-16 kg of polymeric binder; 2-4 kg of cellulose hydroxypropyl methyl ether; 3-9 kg of high-plasticity film-forming agent; 2-4 kg of water-repellent agent; 2-4 kg of polypropylene fiber; 200-250 kg of lightweight calcium carbonate; and 200-250 kg of water. The above-mentioned homogeneous composite material thermal insulation template... By adding polypropylene fibers to homogeneous composite insulation templates, the crack resistance of homogeneous composite insulation templates can be improved; the addition of lightweight vacuum-foamed closed-cell insulation particles can improve the thermal insulation performance of homogeneous composite insulation templates; the addition of flame retardants and the use of inorganic materials to wrap uniformly distributed lightweight vacuum-foamed closed-cell insulation particles can improve the flame retardant and fireproof performance of homogeneous composite insulation templates, making the fireproof performance reach Class A; however, the compressive strength of existing lightweight thermal insulation cement-based composite materials is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the strength of cement-based composite materials.
[0006] 3. Patent document CN107351483A discloses a lightweight building panel, "comprising a composite material layer, an insulation layer bonded to the lower surface of the composite material layer, an aluminum plate bonded to the upper surface of the composite material layer, and a coating on the upper surface of the aluminum plate; the composite material layer comprises cement, paraffin wax, epoxy resin, glass fiber, methyl cellulose, sulfomethyl lignite, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and a foaming agent; the lower surface of the aluminum plate has multiple protrusions spaced along the length of the aluminum plate, and quick-setting cement is provided between the aluminum plate and the composite material layer, filling the gaps between adjacent protrusions; the coating comprises modified fluorinated polyurethane, epoxy resin, butanediol, isopropanol, polypropylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, potassium persulfate, aluminum tripolyphosphate, a stain-resistant agent, and a hydrophobic agent. It has good thermal insulation performance, a stable structure, high overall strength, good thermal insulation function, and good overall waterproof and stain-resistant properties." However, the existing lightweight thermal insulation cement-based composite material has a high bulk density, which reduces its compressive strength. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Step S2, Slurry mixing: Mix cement, 60% water, water-reducing agent and cellulose ether for 5-10 minutes to form cement-based slurry one;
[0059] Step S3, Gradual Incorporation: Hollow glass microspheres and expanded perlite are added sequentially to the cement-based slurry. After stirring at low speed for 3 minutes, aerogel particles and remaining water are added. The mixture is stirred at high speed for 5 minutes to form cement-based slurry II. The low-speed stirring is 200-400 rpm and the high-speed stirring is 800-1200 rpm.
[0060] Step S4: Inject acrylate-styrene copolymer emulsion into cement-based slurry II, and cure it by microwave radiation at 40-60℃ for 10-20 minutes with a microwave radiation power of 300-500W to form cement-based slurry III.
[0061] Step S5: After the cement-based slurry is injected into the mold, it is vibrated to compact it and then cured at a humidity of ≥95% and a temperature of 25±2℃.
[0062] A three-dimensional steel fiber network is added to the cement-based slurry. The three-dimensional steel fiber network accounts for 2.5% of the total material composition. The steel fiber length is 6-12 mm and the steel fiber diameter is 0.2-0.5 mm. The steel fiber is treated with zinc phosphate coating. The steel fiber is embedded in the cement matrix in an X-shaped cross-weave pattern. The mesh spacing of the steel fiber is 10-15 mm. The steel fiber network forms a gradient density distribution in the composite material: the fiber density in the 0-5 mm area from the surface is 120-150 fibers / dm³, the density in the 5-15 mm area is 80-100 fibers / dm³, and the core area is ≤50 fibers / dm³. Microwave curing in step S4 adopts gradient power control: 500 W for the first 5 minutes, 300 W for the next 5-15 minutes, and switches to 200 W for the last 2 minutes before final setting. During microwave curing in step S4, nitrogen protective gas flow is injected simultaneously at a flow rate of 5-10 L / min to generate a Si3N4 passivation layer on the aerogel surface.
