Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, specifically to a self-healing single-component polymer waterproof mortar, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Polymer waterproof mortar can be divided into single-component and two-component waterproof mortars based on its composition. Two-component mortar consists of two components: liquid and powder. However, during construction, the liquid and powder components must be mixed evenly at a fixed weight ratio. Inaccurate measurement during use can easily lead to differences in mortar performance, making the construction quality control of two-component mortar more difficult. Single-component mortar is made by mixing materials such as sand, cement, and dispersible adhesive powder. It is more convenient to construct and is widely used due to its ease of construction.
[0003] Polymer waterproof mortar, as a waterproofing material, is prone to cracking and requires a relatively thick design, so it is rarely used for large-area waterproofing and is only used for localized base layer repairs. However, with the implementation of waterproofing standards, higher requirements have been placed on the waterproofing performance of residential exterior walls in some areas, making polymer waterproof mortar an indispensable product for building exterior wall waterproofing. However, traditional waterproof mortar lacks self-healing ability. When new cracks appear in the mortar under the action of external forces such as temperature changes and structural settlement, moisture can easily seep into the interior through the cracks, making it impossible for the cracks to close on their own, resulting in insufficient waterproof mortar in terms of impermeability.
[0004] When the waterproof mortar has insufficient impermeability, water will penetrate into the mortar and damage the stability of the cement hydration products, leading to the decomposition of calcium silicate hydrate gel, reducing the mechanical strength and bonding performance of the mortar, causing the mortar layer to bulge and fall off. Long-term water infiltration will cause dampness and mold inside the building, affecting the comfort of the living environment, and increasing the cost of later maintenance and reinforcement.
[0005] Therefore, it is essential to develop a self-healing single-component polymer waterproof mortar to improve its impermeability, mechanical strength, and bonding properties. Summary of the Invention

[0014] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of the anhydrous ethanol to the polypropylene fiber is 5:1.
[0015] As a further technical solution, the mixing time is 20-30 minutes, for example, it can be 20 minutes, 22 minutes, 24 minutes, 25 minutes, 26 minutes, 28 minutes, or 30 minutes, preferably 25 minutes.

[0032] Example 4 Compared with Example 2, Example 4 differs in that the ketimine latent curing epoxy curing agent in step S2 is replaced with an equal amount of conventional curing agent, model NX8101.
[0033] Comparative Example 1 Compared with Example 2, Comparative Example 1 differs in that the slow-release crystalline active particles were replaced with an equal amount of penetrating crystalline active masterbatch, and no subsequent preparation process was performed.
[0034] Comparative Example 2 Compared with Example 2, Comparative Example 2 differs in that no sustained-release crystalline active particles were added.
[0035] Comparative Example 3 Compared with Example 2, Comparative Example 3 differs in that no silane-modified polypropylene fiber and calcium sulfoaluminate expanding agent were added.
[0036] Comparative Example 4 The difference between Comparative Example 4 and Example 2 is that the silane-modified polypropylene fibers were replaced with an equal amount of polypropylene fibers.
[0037] Comparative Example 5 Compared with Example 2, Comparative Example 5 differs in that no calcium sulfoaluminate expanding agent was added.
[0038] Experimental Example 1 The performance of the self-healing single-component polymer waterproof mortars prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was tested according to the following test methods.
[0039] 1. Compressive strength: The compressive strength of the specimen shall be tested in accordance with the test method specified in 7.6 of JC / T 984-2011; 2. Flexural strength: The flexural strength of the specimen shall be tested in accordance with the test method specified in 7.6 of JC / T 984-2011; 3. Bond strength: Prepare specimens according to the method specified in 7.8.1 of JC / T 984-2011, cure them according to the method in 7.1.1, and conduct tests according to 5.4.3 of JC / T 907-2002 to test the bond strength; 4. Permeability pressure: The permeability pressure of the coated specimens and mortar specimens shall be tested according to the test method specified in 7.5 of JC / T 984-2011; 5. Shrinkage rate: The ingredients are prepared according to 7.3 of JC / T 984-2011, and the molding, curing and testing are carried out according to JC / T 603 to test the shrinkage rate.
[0040] The test results are shown in Table 1: Table 1 Performance test results of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5
[0041] As shown in Table 1, in Examples 1 to 3, the amount of soluble adhesive powder added was 3 parts, which consisted of two types of adhesive powder: polymer adhesive powder and asphalt dispersion adhesive powder. As the proportion of polymer adhesive powder increased, the proportion of asphalt dispersion adhesive powder decreased, which had a negative impact on the bonding strength of the waterproof mortar, but a positive effect on the flexural strength.
[0042] Compared to Example 2, Comparative Example 3 added unmodified silane-modified polypropylene fibers and an expanding agent, Comparative Example 4 added unmodified polypropylene fibers, and Comparative Example 5 did not add an expanding agent. The results showed that the performance of Comparative Examples 3-5 was lower than that of Example 2. This is because the polypropylene fibers can play a traction role in the mortar, and the modified polypropylene fibers bond better with the inorganic materials, exhibiting higher flexural strength. The expanding agent mainly compensates for the volume shrinkage caused by the hydration reaction during the mortar curing process. Therefore, the synergistic effect of the expanding agent and silane-modified polypropylene fibers results in polymer mortar with better flexural strength and shrinkage rate.
[0043] Compared with Example 2, Comparative Example 1 directly added the penetrating crystallizing active masterbatch without coating, and Comparative Example 2 did not add slow-release crystallizing active particles. As a result, the initial anti-permeability pressure of Comparative Example 1 was higher, but the secondary pressure was still lower. The main active substances were released during the specimen preparation process. The anti-permeability pressure of Comparative Example 2, which did not add slow-release crystallizing active particles, was significantly lower. It can be seen that slow-release crystallizing active particles have long-term repair function and can repair micro-cracks in mortar and improve anti-permeability performance.
[0044] Compared to Example 2, Example 4 used a conventional curing agent. As a result, the performance of Example 4 was lower than that of Example 2. The latent curing epoxy resin curing agent used in Example 2 can form a capsule at room temperature and cure at high temperature. At the same time, as the temperature increases, the gas volatilization in the coating and the gas expansion in the porous mineral material cause the coating to form microporous channels, which can slowly release active substances. The conventional curing agent used in Example 4 can cure at room temperature within a certain time. The resulting coating completely seals the capsule core and loses the function of slowly releasing active substances.
[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
