The invention belongs to the technical field of waterproof materials, particularly relates to a water-awakening type self-healing microbial
capsule, and further relates to a waterproof material prepared from the microbial
capsule. The microbial
capsule is prepared from the following raw materials: ochrobactrum, a culture medium,
nutrient substances, a
calcium source,
urea, a mixture of
aluminate and
gypsum, and swelling resin. The waterproof material provided by the invention can realize secondary repair, and can be directly awakened when meeting water, when a concrete member cracks, water flows into a crack, and the
aluminate and the
gypsum finish the first repair. And when the expanded
crystal repaired for the first time cracks, water is in contact with the
ochrobactrum anthropi along with the cracks, the
ochrobactrum anthropi has a mineralization deposition effect, and the cracks are filled with mineralization deposition products again, so that the second time of repairing is completed. The microbial capsule and the waterproof material provided by the invention have the advantages of low cost of adopted materials, easily available raw materials, simple product production process and remarkable social and economic effects.
