[0002] Cement is the main material for infrastructure construction, but it is easy to produce microcracks under the complex action of external load and environment, which weakens the mechanical properties and durability of the material and seriously shortens the service life of the building. The high-energy consumption and high-cost repair or reconstruction caused by this are likely to become a new source of carbon emissions and increase the environmental burden. Traditional repair techniques are mostly post-intervention, which is tedious and has high economic cost. Existing self-repairing materials are mainly gels and delayed reaction minerals, which will sacrifice the mechanical properties of cement and affect normal use, especially in a CO2 environment, corrosion will exacerbate the cracking of cement microcracks and the decline of mechanical properties. In addition, existing self-repairing agents are mostly granular materials, and their self-healing efficiency is limited by the distribution range of the materials.

[0003] Therefore, in order to improve the self-repairing efficiency of infrastructure in a CO2 corrosion environment and prolong the effective service period, it is necessary to provide a CO2-responsive anti-cracking self-repairing cement which has little effect on the strength of cement and good self-repairing performance.

[0026] This invention utilizes a method of constructing a crack-resistant self-healing network in a cement matrix to achieve efficient self-repair of cement microcracks through its CO2 response characteristics, thereby improving its durability in corrosive environments. This is of great significance to the field of cement self-healing technology.

[0055] Figure 1 X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis of the freeze-dried gel powder of CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement prepared in Example 1. From (a)-(d), it can be seen that the freeze-dried gel powder of CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement contains O, N, and C elements, where O comes from the carboxyl group in methacrylic acid and N comes from the imidazole ring in vinylimidazolium, confirming that the freeze-dried gel powder was successfully copolymerized from these two elements. In (b), functional group peaks corresponding to C=O and CO appear, confirming the carboxyl structure in the freeze-dried gel powder. In (c), functional group peaks of NR3 and C=N appear, confirming the tertiary nitrogen group structure in the gel. In (d), functional group peaks of CC and O=CO appear, consistent with the structure of the monomer.

[0056] Figure 2 Stress-strain test graphs of CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement gels prepared with different crosslinking agents (Examples 2 and 6). As shown in the graphs, the maximum elongation at break of the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement gel prepared in Example 1 under tensile stress is 45.6%, and the tensile fracture stress is 0.0357 MPa; the maximum elongation at break of the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement gel prepared in Example 6 under tensile stress is 121.8%, and the tensile fracture stress is 0.0061 MPa. The former has higher strength but lower toughness; the latter has higher toughness but lower strength.

[0057] Figure 3 The image shows a test result of the water absorption capacity of the gel in the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement prepared in Example 2. The formula for calculating the water absorption capacity is: Q = (m2 - m1) / m1; where m1 is the initial mass of the freeze-dried gel powder, and m2 is the mass of the freeze-dried gel powder after absorbing water for a period of time.

[0058] As shown in the figure, the water absorption of the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement prepared in Example 2 reached its maximum value at 17 min, with a water absorption capacity of 5.19 g / g. This is because the polymer network contains a large number of hydrophilic groups, which make it water-absorbing.

[0059] Figure 4The figures show the compressive and flexural strengths of CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cements prepared in the control example and Examples 1, 2, and 3 (with different monomer addition amounts). As can be seen from the figures, the compressive strength of the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cements in Examples 1, 2, and 3 is lower than that in the control group. This is because the introduction of the polymer network increases internal defects in the cement. The compressive strength of the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement increases with decreasing addition amount, because lower addition amounts result in fewer internal defects caused by the polymer in the cement-based material. The flexural strength of the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cements with different addition amounts is similar to that of the control group. This is because although the hydrogel network causes internal defects in the cement matrix, the gel also enhances the toughness of the brittle cement; the two effects cancel each other out, resulting in no significant change in the flexural strength of the cement.

[0060] Figure 5 The figures show the composition ratios of the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cements (comparative example and Examples 1, 2, and 3) obtained by thermogravimetric analysis. As shown in the figures, the calcium carbonate content in the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cements of Examples 1, 2, and 3 is higher than that in the control group. This is because the introduction of the polymer network enhances the cement's ability to capture carbon dioxide, leading to the conversion of more calcium hydroxide into calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate content in the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement increases with the increase of monomer (corresponding to the lyophilized gel powder) addition, because a higher monomer addition amount results in more tertiary amine groups in the cementitious material that can capture carbon dioxide. This confirms the ability of the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement to capture carbon dioxide.

[0061] Figure 6 The crack volume repair rate and crack area repair rate before and after repair of CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement are compared with those of the control example and Examples 1, 2 and 3.

[0062] The formula for calculating the crack volume repair rate is: η V =(1-V2 / V1)×100%; where: η V V1 represents the crack volume repair rate; V2 represents the crack volume after different curing days of damaged cement; V1 represents the crack volume before repair of damaged cement.

[0063] Formula for calculating crack area repair rate: η A =(1-A2 / A1)×100%; where: η A A1 represents the crack area repair rate; A2 represents the crack area after different curing days of damaged cement; A1 represents the crack area before repair of damaged cement.

[0064] Depend on Figure 5It can be seen that after 7 days of wet curing in a carbon dioxide atmosphere at 30℃, the repair rate of CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cements with different monomer addition amounts in Examples 1, 2, and 3 was much higher than that of the control group. The crack volume repair rate of Examples 2 and 3 reached over 60% after 7 days, while that of the control group was less than 7%. Compared with the control group, the self-healing rate of the experimental group with added self-healing agent increased by 883.58%. This is because the addition of the self-healing system significantly improved the self-healing performance. After the cement stone cracks, the polymer network in the cement matrix absorbs carbon dioxide to promote calcium ion mineralization to fill the gaps.

[0065] This invention also experimented with adding the freeze-dried gel powder prepared in Example 2, along with the monomer, crosslinking agent, and initiator concentrations in Solution 2 used in the preparation of the freeze-dried gel powder in Example 2, to tap water as cement mixing water. This mixing water was then added to Grade G oil well cement, prepared according to GB / T 19139-2012, and cured for 1 day in a curing chamber at 30℃±2℃; the water-cement ratio was 0.44. The results showed that the mixing water prepared by adding the freeze-dried gel powder to tap water had performance comparable to that of the CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement prepared using Solution 2 as mixing water in Example 2.

[0066] The CO2-responsive crack-resistant self-healing cement of the present invention has significant self-healing ability, effectively filling the gap in the application of polymer networks in promoting self-healing in carbon dioxide environments.
