Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lightweight building materials technology, specifically to a crack-resistant calcium silicate board and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Calcium silicate boards are high-performance inorganic non-metallic materials made primarily from siliceous and calcareous materials through processes such as batching, molding, and autoclaving. Due to their excellent comprehensive properties, they are highly favored in various fields. Specifically, their fire resistance limit can reach 1-4 hours, effectively preventing the spread of flames and meeting the fire protection design requirements of various buildings; they have a low thermal conductivity, providing significant heat insulation and reducing building energy consumption; they also possess good resistance to insects, mold, and aging, allowing for long-term stable service even in harsh environments such as dampness and darkness, with a service life of over 20 years. Based on these advantages, calcium silicate boards are widely used in ceilings, interior partitions, exterior wall linings, and floor subfloors in civil and industrial buildings; in thermal insulation and protective linings for boilers and kilns in industrial fields; and in special working conditions such as the decoration and protection of rail transit platforms and tunnel interiors, ship cabin partitions, and offshore platform enclosures. In recent years, with the development of modern construction industry towards green, high-end, and intelligent directions, building structures have become increasingly complex, and engineering service environments have become increasingly harsh. Whether it is the high-altitude wind pressure environment of high-rise buildings, the high-humidity and high-salt corrosion environment of underground engineering, the vibration load and temperature alternation environment of rail transit, or the high-temperature radiation environment around industrial kilns, all have placed higher demands on the performance of calcium silicate boards. Among them, crack resistance, as a core indicator to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the board, has become a major bottleneck restricting the further expansion of calcium silicate boards into high-end building fields and special industrial scenarios, as well as improving the long-term service stability and extending the service life of the boards. Once the board cracks, it will not only destroy its core functions such as heat insulation, sound insulation, and fire resistance, but may also trigger a chain of problems such as a decrease in structural load-bearing capacity and water vapor penetration leading to substrate weathering, which may even affect the overall safety of the project in severe cases. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a crack-resistant calcium silicate board and its preparation method, so as to solve the technical problem of poor mechanical strength of calcium silicate boards mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for preparing a crack-resistant calcium silicate board includes the following steps: (1) High-purity quartz sand is ball-milled, then soaked in hydrochloric acid solution, washed and dried to obtain pretreated quartz sand; Pretreated quartz sand was mixed with an ethanol / water solution of silane coupling agent, the pH was adjusted to acidic with glacial acetic acid, and the mixture was stirred at a constant temperature, then filtered and dried to obtain alkyl quartz sand. (2) Alkyl silica sand is dry-mixed with metakaolin, silica fume and silicate cement to obtain dry mix; (3) The flax fiber was treated with sodium hydroxide solution, then washed and dried to obtain pretreated flax fiber; Pretreated flax fibers were grafted with hydroxyethyl acrylate under nitrogen protection in the presence of ammonium persulfate as an initiator, and then dried to obtain modified flax fibers. (4) Place the PVA fiber in anhydrous ethanol for ultrasonic cleaning and then dry it to obtain pretreated PVA fiber; Pretreated polyvinyl alcohol fibers were mixed with silane coupling agent KH-560 and nano-silica to obtain modified polyvinyl alcohol fibers. (5) Disperse graphene oxide, carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion, water-reducing agent and retarder in deionized water, then add dry mix, stir and mix, then add modified flax fiber and modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber, stir and mix to obtain mixed slurry; (6) The mixed slurry is pressurized to form a blank, and then the blank is pre-cured, high-pressure steam cured, depressurized and dried in sequence to obtain crack-resistant calcium silicate board.
[0005] In this invention, the crack resistance of calcium silicate boards is improved synergistically from the following aspects: Firstly, cracking is suppressed at its source through a dual approach of interfacial bonding strengthening and matrix structure densification. Specifically, after hydrolysis, the silane coupling agent KH550 undergoes a dehydration condensation reaction with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of quartz sand to form stable Si-O-Si covalent bonds. At the same time, the exposed amino functional groups can have a chemical affinity with cement hydration products (such as calcium hydroxide and hydrated calcium silicate), which completely solves the problem of poor interfacial compatibility between traditional quartz sand and cement matrix, and easy separation due to drying shrinkage or stress, thus eliminating the core hidden danger of interfacial crack initiation. Furthermore, metakaolin and silica fume in the composite system, as highly active admixtures, utilize their ultra-fine particle size characteristics to fill the gaps inside the matrix in the early stage of cement hydration, reducing porosity, improving the density of the matrix structure, and preventing stress concentration at the pores. In addition, they participate in the hydrothermal reaction during subsequent curing, synergistically generating more stable hydration product phases with cement hydration products, optimizing the internal crystal structure of the matrix, and simultaneously regulating the cement hydration rate, reducing the peak hydration heat, and reducing thermal stress caused by internal and external temperature differences. From the two dimensions of interface bonding and densification of the matrix structure, they block the initial induction of cracking, providing a foundation for the crack resistance of the board.
[0006] On the other hand, for flax fibers, the grafting polymerization of hydroxyethyl acrylate monomers initiated by ammonium persulfate introduces flexible polymer segments onto the fiber surface, significantly improving the fiber's elastic bridging ability. When the board is subjected to external loads or internal stress, the flexible segments can absorb energy through deformation, buffering local stress and preventing the initiation of microcracks caused by stress concentration. At the same time, the increased surface roughness of the grafted fibers enhances the mechanical interlocking force with the cement matrix, further improving the interfacial bonding stability. For PVA fibers, the silane coupling agent KH560, after hydrolysis, opens its ring and binds to the hydroxyl groups on the fiber surface, firmly anchoring nano-silica to form nano-seeds. These seed crystals can guide the directional growth of cement hydration products, eliminating the weak layer in the interfacial transition zone between the fiber and the matrix (the traditional fiber-matrix interface is prone to voids due to weak bonding, becoming the initiation point of cracks), achieving a tight fusion between the fiber and the matrix. Furthermore, the two modified fibers form a continuous cross-linked network in the matrix, intertwining with the tobermorite crystals generated by subsequent high-pressure steam curing. When microcracks appear in the board, the fiber network can prevent crack propagation through bridging. At the same time, the directional hydration products induced by nanocrystal seeds further enhance the structural stability at the crack, forming a dual protection of crack initiation inhibition and crack propagation blocking. This significantly improves the board's ability to resist stress. From the perspectives of stress buffering and crack inhibition, it makes up for the shortcomings of simple matrix modification in dynamic stress response, forming a synergistic effect with the first aspect, thereby endowing calcium silicate boards with excellent crack resistance.
[0007] This invention discovered in experiments that during high-pressure steam curing, the interfacial chemical bonding between the modified fibers (i.e., HEA-grafted flax fibers and nano-SiO2-coated PVA fibers) and the rigid matrix with a tobermorite crystal framework is too strong and rigid, lacking an effective stress buffer layer. This leads to huge internal stress between the rigid matrix and the tough fibers due to the mismatch in thermal shrinkage coefficients, causing brittle micro-peeling at the interface or fiber fracture, severely limiting the upper limit of the crack resistance of the board under high strain conditions. To further solve this technical problem, graphene oxide and carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion are introduced into the mixed slurry. Through the synergistic effect of graphene oxide and carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion, a multi-scale interfacial transition layer that combines rigidity and flexibility is constructed: graphene oxide acts as a nanoscale high-strength constraint point, forming a three-dimensional anchoring network with the modified substrate and fibers, providing basic interfacial strength and sliding friction resistance; while the carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion forms a micron-scale elastic film in situ at the interface, acting as a stress buffer and shock-absorbing pad between the rigid tobermorite and the tough fibers. The two work together to guide the directional growth of hydrothermal crystals and fill interface defects, thus avoiding stress concentration at the source. On the other hand, under load or thermal deformation, controlled elastic slip of fibers is allowed, converting destructive energy into frictional energy and elastic deformation energy. This transforms the interface bonding method from "hard locking" to "elastic constraint slip," making the interface change from "strong and brittle" to "strong and tough." This achieves a simultaneous improvement in the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the board, ultimately giving it excellent resistance to environmental temperature difference cracking.

[0015] Preferably, in step (5), the mass ratio of modified flax fiber to modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber is 4.5:(2-4).
[0016] A crack-resistant calcium silicate board is prepared by the method described above.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. By using silane coupling agents to achieve strong chemical bonding between quartz sand and cement matrix, the potential for separation caused by poor compatibility at traditional interfaces is eliminated; at the same time, active admixtures fill pores and optimize hydration products, significantly improving matrix density and blocking the initial cause of cracking from both interfacial bonding and structural dimensions. 2. The modified fibers form a continuous cross-linked network in the matrix. The flexible segments on the surface can buffer stress, while the nanocrystals strengthen the interfacial transition zone. When microcracks appear, the fiber network can effectively bridge and prevent crack propagation, thus achieving active dissipation and blocking of dynamic stress. 3. A synergistic system of graphene oxide and carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion is introduced to construct a multi-scale transition layer at the interface, characterized by nano-anchoring and micron-elasticity. This structure ensures high-strength bonding while buffering thermal stress through an elastic film, enabling controlled slippage at the interface and converting destructive energy into dissipative energy, thereby significantly improving the crack resistance of the board under temperature variations.

[0065] Comparative Example 1: The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that step 1 is omitted and alkyl silica sand in step 2 is replaced with ordinary silica sand.
[0066] Comparative Example 2: The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that steps 3 and 4 are omitted, and the modified flax fiber and modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber in step 5 are replaced with ordinary flax fiber and polyvinyl alcohol fiber.
[0067] Comparative Example 3: The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that no graphene oxide and carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion are added to the mixed slurry in step 4.
[0068] Comparative Example 4: The difference between Comparative Example 4 and Example 1 is that graphene oxide is not added to the mixed slurry in step 4.
[0069] Comparative Example 5: The difference between Comparative Example 5 and Example 1 is that no carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion is added to the mixed slurry in step 4.
[0070] Performance testing: 1. Flexural Strength Test: The test was conducted according to the national standard GB / T 7019-2014 "Test Methods for Fiber Cement Products". Standard specimens (300mm × 300mm × 12mm) were cut from the cured and dried sample boards of the examples and comparative examples. The three-point bending method was used on a universal testing machine. The support span was set to 200mm, and the loading speed was 5mm / min. The maximum load at specimen fracture was recorded, and the flexural strength (MPa) was calculated using the formula. This index reflects the basic mechanical bearing capacity of the board matrix and reinforcing fibers under combined stress. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0071] 2. Drying shrinkage rate test: The specimen was immersed in water at (20±2)℃ for 24 hours until saturation, and its initial length L1 was measured. Then, the specimen was placed in an oven at (60±3)℃ and (30±5)% relative humidity to dry to constant weight, and after cooling to room temperature, its dried length L2 was measured. The ratio of shrinkage to original length was calculated. The drying shrinkage rate is a key indicator for evaluating the crack resistance of the board; the smaller the value, the better the volume stability of the board under dehydration conditions. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0072] 3. Fracture toughness test: A pendulum impact testing machine was used to verify the energy absorption effect of the "flexible bridging and stress regulation" system of this invention. The specimen size was 100mm × 10mm × 12mm, without notches. The energy consumed by the pendulum to break the specimen (kJ / m²) was recorded. 2 Higher fracture toughness means that when the plate is subjected to impact or sudden changes in internal stress, it can dissipate energy through fiber slippage and elastic membrane deformation, and is less prone to brittle cracking. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0073] 4. Temperature Difference Cracking Resistance Cyclic Test: Simulating a harsh service environment, the sheet material was placed in a high and low temperature cycling test chamber. Each cycle consisted of baking at (80±2)℃ for 6 hours, followed by rapid transfer to freezing at (-20±2)℃ for 6 hours. After 50 consecutive cycles, the surface of the sheet material was observed using a high-magnification magnifying glass to check for microcracks, and the width and number of cracks were recorded. If no obvious cracks were found, the test was deemed "crack-free." This test directly reflects the upper limit of the sheet material's crack resistance under conditions of mismatched thermal shrinkage coefficients. The test results are shown in Table 1.
