The present application relates to the technical field of
glass microsphere preparation, and particularly relates to high-refractive large-
diameter glass microspheres for road marking and a preparation method thereof, the preparation method comprising the following steps: mixing raw materials such as
quartz sand and
bismuth carbonate with a nano-domain inducing modifier and performing wet ball milling to obtain mixed
fine powder; sequentially performing high-temperature melting,
temperature control and phase separation treatment and temperature rising and homogenization treatment on the mixed
fine powder to obtain a glass melt, and performing drop shrinkage and ball formation through a porous
bushing and performing step cooling and solidification to obtain large-
diameter glass microsphere primary products; stirring and reacting the large-
diameter glass microsphere primary products with a modified nano-
hybrid surface treatment agent under heating, and performing
vacuum drying and cooling to obtain high-refractive large-diameter glass microspheres. Through the synergistic effect of the nano-domain inducing modifier and the modified nano-
hybrid surface treatment agent, the prepared glass microspheres have internal optical uniformity, high
mechanical strength, excellent hydrophobicity and
interfacial bonding force on the surface, and the long-term effective reflective life and
weather resistance of the road marking are significantly improved.
