Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building material additives, specifically relating to a polycarboxylate superplasticizer based on photoinitiated polymerization, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete, as one of the most important structural materials in modern construction, has always had its performance optimization a focus of academic and engineering circles. Polycarboxylate superplasticizers, as highly efficient admixtures, play a crucial role in improving the rheological properties, strength, and durability of concrete. Polyether macromonomers, which are polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene coethers containing unsaturated double bonds, are widely used in the synthesis of polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCE).
[0003] In the existing synthesis of polycarboxylate superplasticizers, the common preparation method for polyether macromonomers is the homopolymerization of ethylene oxide (EO) or random copolymerization with propylene oxide (PO) using alkaline catalysis or thermal catalysis. This method has the advantages of relatively mature reaction conditions and a wide range of raw material sources. However, the bottleneck of the existing technology is that the reaction temperature is usually ≥80℃ and there is a problem of low double bond retention rate. This leads to increased rigidity of the superplasticizer molecular chain, insufficient environmental adaptability, high energy consumption, and a large amount of catalyst residue.
[0004] In recent years, photocatalysis technology has made some progress in the field of polymer synthesis. The polymers prepared show advantages such as low temperature, fast response and tunable structure, but it has not addressed the optimization problems of high temperature dependence and double bond loss in the synthesis of polyether water-reducing agent macromonomers. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a polycarboxylate superplasticizer based on photo-initiated polymerization and its preparation method. The method uses photo-initiated polymerization to prepare polyether macromonomers, which are then obtained by free radical copolymerization. The reaction can be carried out rapidly at low temperature, and the double bond retention rate is as high as 98.1% to 99.8%, which significantly reduces energy consumption and double bond loss rate.
[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide an application of a photoinitiated polymerization-based polycarboxylate superplasticizer in concrete.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0008] This invention provides a method for preparing a polycarboxylate superplasticizer based on photoinitiated polymerization, the method comprising the following steps:
[0009] 1) Place epoxy monomers, epoxy alkane and photoinitiator in a photoreactor to carry out photo-initiated polymerization to obtain polyether macromonomers;
[0010] 2) The polyether macromonomer, unsaturated acid, unsaturated ester and deionized water are placed in a reaction vessel and mixed evenly. Then, an initiator, a reducing agent and a chain transfer agent are added dropwise to carry out a free radical reaction to obtain the polycarboxylate superplasticizer based on photoinitiated polymerization.
[0011] In step 1), the epoxy monomer is one or more of glycidyl methacrylate, glycidyl acrylate, allyl glycidyl ether, 1,2-epoxy-4-vinylcyclohexane or 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl methacrylate.
[0012] In step 1), the epoxide is one or more of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide.
[0013] In step 1), the photoinitiator is one or more of diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate, diphenyliodonium hexafluoroantimonate, 4,4'-dimethyldiphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate, triphenylthionium hexafluorophosphate, tri-tolylthionium hexafluorophosphate, or tri-tolylthionium trifluoromethanesulfonate.
[0014] In step 1), the molar ratio of the epoxy monomer, epoxy alkane and photoinitiator is 1:25~120:0.01~0.05.
[0015] In step 1), the photo-initiated polymerization reaction takes 2-3 hours, the reaction temperature is 40-60°C, the wavelength of the light is 300-400 nm, and the light intensity is 5-50 W / m². 2 .
[0016] In step 2), the unsaturated acid is one or more of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, aconitic acid, maleic acid, itaconic acid, dimethylmaleic acid, allyl succinic acid, 2-buten-1-yl succinic acid, or 1,2,3,4-cyclopentenetetracarboxylic acid.
[0017] In step 2), the unsaturated ester is one or more of methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, or hydroxybutyl acrylate.
[0018] In step 2), the initiator is one or more of hydrogen peroxide, ammonium persulfate, sodium persulfate, or potassium persulfate.
[0019] In step 2), the reducing agent is one or more of sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate, ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, isoascorbic acid, or sodium hypophosphite.
[0020] In step 2), the chain transfer agent is one or more of mercaptoacetic acid, mercaptoethanol, 2-mercaptopropionic acid, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, sodium methacrylate sulfonate, or dodecyl mercaptan.
[0021] In step 2), the molar ratio of the polyether macromonomer, unsaturated acid, unsaturated ester, initiator, reducing agent and chain transfer agent is 1:0~6:0~6:0.01~0.2:0.03~0.2:0.03~0.1.
[0022] In step 2), the free radical reaction takes 2 to 5 hours and the reaction temperature is 15 to 50°C.
[0023] This invention provides a polycarboxylate superplasticizer based on photoinitiated polymerization prepared using the above-described preparation method.
[0024] This invention provides an application of the photoinitiated polymerization-based polycarboxylate superplasticizer in concrete.
[0025] In the preparation method described in this invention, the photoinitiator decomposes after absorbing photons to generate active free radicals, which initiate the ring-opening polymerization of epoxy groups while retaining unsaturated double bonds. Furthermore, the molecular chain growth can be controlled by precisely adjusting the density of photosensitive groups and the light intensity. Polyether macromonomers with a weight-average molecular weight of 1000 g / mol to 8000 g / mol and a double bond retention rate of 98.1% to 99.8% can be obtained within 2 to 3 hours.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0027] 1. Traditional polyether synthesis relies heavily on high temperatures of ≥80℃ and long reaction times of ≥4h. However, this method introduces photocatalytic polymerization technology, which uses photoinitiators to generate active free radicals under specific wavelength light to initiate polymerization between molecular chains. This breaks away from the limitations of traditional thermal initiation, avoids high-temperature processes, shortens the synthesis reaction time of polyether macromonomers to 2-3 hours, and achieves a double bond retention rate of over 98.1%, making it more environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
[0028] 2. Unlike traditional random copolymerization, the polyether macromonomers prepared by the method described in this invention can have their molecular weight and block structure controlled by light intensity and photosensitive group density, thus overcoming the limitations of traditional random copolymerization.
[0029] 3. This invention optimizes the water-reducing agent by adjusting the degree of polymerization by regulating the light intensity, thus solving the problem of performance degradation of traditional water-reducing agents under high temperature or high salt environment. The water-reducing agent prepared by this invention has excellent performance under the conditions of 50℃ and 5% sulfate. Attached Figure Description
