Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building materials technology, specifically relating to a high-strength and tough cement-based repair material based on biomimetic adhesion and self-healing functions and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Cement concrete is the most widely used material in modern engineering construction. However, existing structures commonly suffer from cracking, spalling, and other damage under environmental and load conditions. Repairing damaged structures instead of demolishing and rebuilding them is crucial for saving resources and ensuring safety, and has also created a huge market demand for repair materials.
[0003] Currently, cement-based inorganic repair materials are commonly used in repair projects. While these materials are relatively inexpensive, they have inherent drawbacks: firstly, they are brittle and lack toughness; secondly, and most critically, the interfacial bonding between the old and new materials is weak, often becoming the most vulnerable link in the repair system. Existing technologies mainly improve some properties by adding polymers, but they still fail to fundamentally solve the core technical bottlenecks of weak interfacial chemical bonding and the lack of self-repairing capabilities for microcracks.
[0004] Therefore, developing a new type of high-performance repair material that can actively strengthen interfacial adhesion, improve bulk toughness, and possess self-healing capabilities is of great significance for improving the reliability and durability of repair projects. Summary of the Invention

An aqueous solution of a diamine compound is added dropwise to the oil-in-water emulsion, and then the mixture is stirred at 40-60°C and 340-360 rpm for 2-6 hours. After the reaction is complete, the mixture is filtered, washed, and dried, and then ground into powder to obtain a powdered epoxy curing agent encapsulated in resin microcapsules, thus achieving the encapsulation of the epoxy curing agent in resin microcapsules. The molar ratio of the diamine compound to the isocyanate monomer is (0.9-1.1):1, and the diamine compound accounts for 3%-8% of the water mass in the aqueous solution.
[0009] Preferably, the epoxy resin curing agent is isophorone diamine or hexamethylene diamine; the isocyanate monomer is toluene diisocyanate or hexamethylene diisocyanate; The emulsifier used is polyvinyl alcohol and / or sodium dodecyl sulfate; Diamine compounds are made of ethylenediamine or hexamethylenediamine; During washing and drying, the filtered solid product is washed 2-4 times with deionized water, then vacuum dried at 40-60℃ for 12-24 hours to remove moisture, and then ground into powder to obtain a powdered epoxy curing agent encapsulated in resin microcapsules.
[0010] Preferably, the average particle size of the epoxy curing agent encapsulated in the resin microcapsules is 10-100 micrometers.
[0011] Preferably, the preparation method of polydopamine-modified graphene oxide includes: Graphene oxide was dispersed in a buffer solution with a pH of 8.0-9.0 to form a uniform graphene oxide dispersion. Dopamine hydrochloride was added to the graphene oxide dispersion, and the mixture was stirred at 20-30°C for 12-48 hours. After that, solid-liquid separation was performed, and the separated solid product was washed and dried to obtain the polydopamine-modified graphene oxide.

[0012] Preferably, the buffer solution is a tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride buffer solution, with each gram of graphene oxide dispersed in 495-505 mL of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride buffer solution; After adding graphene oxide to a tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride buffer solution, the solution is treated in an ice-water bath under ultrasonic conditions of 300-500W for 30-60 minutes to form a uniform graphene oxide dispersion.
[0013] Preferably, when washing and drying the separated solid product, the solid product is washed with deionized water and ethanol alternately 2-4 times, then dried at -45°C to -55°C for 24-48 hours, and then ground into powder to obtain powdered polydopamine modified graphene oxide.

Add polydopamine-modified graphene oxide to the premix and continue mixing for 5-10 minutes to obtain the first mixture; Under stirring conditions of 100-300 rpm, epoxy curing agent encapsulated in resin microcapsules is added to the first mixture. The mixing time is 3-8 minutes. After mixing, the material is discharged to obtain dry powder of repair material. The dry powder of the repair material is mixed with water, water-reducing agent, defoamer and retarder to obtain the high-strength and tough cement-based repair material based on biomimetic adhesion and self-healing function.
[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention relates to a high-strength and tough cement-based repair material based on biomimetic adhesion and self-healing functions. Through the rational combination of various raw material components and the design of specific functional structures, it specifically solves the core technical bottlenecks of existing cement-based repair materials, achieving a breakthrough improvement in comprehensive performance. Specifically, this material incorporates 0.05-0.5 parts of polydopamine-modified graphene oxide. The catechol groups on its surface can irreversibly chemically crosslink with the active groups at the interface of old concrete. The two-dimensional sheets simultaneously penetrate deep into the micropores and cracks of the old concrete to form physical anchorage, constructing a dual mechanism of chemical bonding and physical anchoring. This upgrades the interface bonding between new and old materials from traditional physical interlocking to stable chemical bonding. Combined with 10-30 parts of redispersible latex powder to further optimize interface compatibility, the tensile bond strength reaches 5.3-5.8 MPa, significantly improved compared to materials without this modified component, fundamentally addressing the problem of weak and easily failed interfacial bonding. 5-20 parts of fumed silica and polydopamine-modified graphene oxide work synergistically to form a nanoscale reinforcing and filling system. The former fills the micropores of cement hydration products with small particle size and refines the crystal structure, while the latter constructs a three-dimensional support network, bridging cracks and dispersing stress during external force-induced cracking. Combined with 400-500 parts of ordinary silicate cement and 250-300 parts of high-belite... The optimization of sulfoaluminate cement compound and active admixtures such as mineral powder and silica fume resulted in a 28-day flexural strength of 11.9-13.1 MPa, effectively overcoming the inherent brittleness of cement-based materials and significantly improving their toughness and crack resistance. Encapsulating 1-5 parts of epoxy curing agent in resin microcapsules creates a damage-triggered intelligent self-healing mechanism. Stress generated by microcrack propagation can rupture the capsules to release the curing agent, which then cross-links at the crack interface to form a dense adhesive layer, filling voids and blocking the penetration of corrosive media, thus achieving self-healing. With a setting rate of 78%-83%, it significantly extends the long-term durability of the repair system. At the same time, 0.4-0.5 parts of retarder can control the setting time to adapt to different construction scenarios, and 2-5 parts of water-reducing agent and 2.5-3 parts of defoamer can reduce water consumption and eliminate internal air bubbles to improve density. The synergistic effect of the components makes the material's 28-day compressive strength reach 75.8-82.0 MPa, taking into account excellent mechanical properties, bonding performance, self-healing ability and construction adaptability, providing reliable support for the long-term repair of damaged concrete structures.

Its self-healing rate is as high as 81%, while the control groups containing only PDA-GO or only microcapsules have rates of 0% and 65%, respectively, highlighting the indispensability and synergistic effect of both in triggering intelligent repair. Crucially, the self-healing rate of Comparative Example 4, using ordinary graphene oxide, plummeted to 15%, indicating that polydopamine surface modification is a core prerequisite for solving the dispersion of nanomaterials and enabling their effective synergy with the microcapsule system. As shown in Table 1, the experimental results of this application are significantly superior to the comparative examples in terms of mechanical properties, bond strength, and self-healing ability.
[0042] The experimental results above show that the technical solution of the present invention has the following characteristics: (i) By introducing polydopamine-modified graphene oxide, the strong chemical interaction between its surface catechol groups and the interface between new and old concrete is utilized to achieve a leap from physical bonding to chemical bonding, which significantly improves the bonding strength.
[0043] (ii) Through the synergy of fumed nano-silica and modified graphene oxide, nanoscale filling and reinforcement were achieved. At the same time, the graphene oxide sheets could bridge microcracks, greatly improving the toughness and crack resistance of the material.
[0044] (iii) By introducing epoxy curing agents encapsulated in resin microcapsules, the material is endowed with intelligent self-healing capabilities. Microcracks can trigger the release and curing of the repair agent, automatically repairing the damage and thus blocking the erosion path, greatly improving long-term durability.
[0045] (iv) Polydopamine-modified graphene oxide can significantly improve the bonding strength and bulk toughness of the material at the interface with old concrete; the curing agent is encapsulated in microcapsules, which can rupture when microcracks occur in the material and trigger a repair reaction to achieve self-healing. The two work synergistically to give the material both excellent immediate bonding performance and long-term durability.
[0046] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the concept of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the concept of the invention or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
