TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of building materials, and particularly relates to a high-toughness polypropylene fiber concrete and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polypropylene fibers can form a three-dimensional network structure in a random distribution in the interior of concrete, effectively block the development of cracks, and bear tension when the concrete is subjected to external force, delay crack propagation, and significantly improve the fracture energy and toughness of the concrete. However, the surface of the polypropylene fiber is hydrophobic, and the bonding capacity with the cement paste is weak, which easily forms a weak zone at the interface. This makes the modification effect of the polypropylene fiber on the concrete often fail to meet the expected requirements. Further adding epoxy resin can solve the stress concentration problem of the polypropylene fiber in the concrete, but the epoxy resin is a flammable material, and adding the epoxy resin in the concrete may increase the risk of combustion of the concrete and reduce the safety performance of the concrete. To solve the above technical defects, the application provides a high-toughness polypropylene fiber concrete and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY

[0003] The application aims to provide a high-toughness polypropylene fiber concrete and a preparation method thereof, and solve the problems mentioned in the background.

[0004] The purpose of the application can be achieved by the following technical solutions. A preparation method of a high-toughness polypropylene fiber concrete, comprising the following steps: Firstly, a curing agent is obtained by a nucleophilic substitution reaction between phenylphosphoryl dichloride and aminosilane.

[0005] Secondly, modified polypropylene fibers are obtained by grafting a silane coupling agent on the surface of the polypropylene fibers.

[0006] Thirdly, a concrete dry material is obtained by uniformly mixing Portland cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, mineral admixture and the modified polypropylene fibers. Then, water, polycarboxylate superplasticizer and air entraining agent are added to the concrete dry material, and the mixture is uniformly stirred to obtain a concrete mixture.

[0007] Fourthly, water-based epoxy resin and the curing agent are added to the concrete mixture, and the mixture is uniformly stirred to obtain a concrete slurry. The concrete slurry is then poured, vibrated and compacted, and covered with a plastic film. After 48-72 hours, the formwork is removed and the high-toughness polypropylene fiber concrete is obtained after curing.

[0008] There is no sequence between the first step and the second step in the preparation method.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the aminosilane is at least one of 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, 1,3-bis(2-amine ethyl amine methyl) tetramethyldisiloxane.

[0017] A high-toughness polypropylene fiber concrete is prepared by any of the above preparation steps.

[0018] The present application has at least the following beneficial effects: The present application effectively improves the interfacial bonding capacity of polypropylene fiber and concrete matrix by compounding epoxy resin and polypropylene fiber, solves the stress concentration problem that may be caused by adding polypropylene fiber alone in concrete, and uses a self-made curing agent with phosphate structure to improve the flame retardant performance of the epoxy resin, and solves the problem of increased risk of combustion caused by adding epoxy resin in concrete.

[0019] The curing agent is synthesized by the reaction of phenylphosphonic dichloride and aminosilane, and can fully exert the phosphorus-silicon synergistic flame-retardant effect, wherein the phosphorus element decomposes in the gas phase to generate a free radical trapping agent to inhibit the combustion chain reaction, and the silicon element promotes the formation of a stable and dense silicon-carbon barrier layer in the condensed phase to effectively isolate heat and oxygen transmission, thereby greatly improving the flame-retardant performance of the epoxy resin; compared with the modification method of physically blending the flame retardant, the curing agent of the application can enter the crosslinked network of the epoxy resin through chemical bonding to realize targeted flame retardation, and significantly reduce the total addition amount of the flame retardant.

[0020] The curing agent of the application has both primary amine and secondary amine structures, and the tertiary amine structure generated after the curing of the secondary amine structure can catalyze the ring-opening reaction of the epoxy group, thereby improving the curing speed of the epoxy resin concrete in a medium-low temperature environment; in addition, the Si-O-Si structure in the curing agent can effectively dissipate external impact energy by utilizing its high rotational freedom, thereby improving the toughness and impact strength of the epoxy resin concrete.
