This invention provides an organic-inorganic
hybrid superabsorbent resin for
cement-based self-healing materials and its preparation method. The preparation method includes: dispersing soluble carbonates and nano-silica in water, then adding
sodium alginate for dispersion and
dissolution, followed by adding
acrylic monomers, initiators, and crosslinking agents to carry out a
polymerization reaction, and finally obtaining a powdered resin after post-treatment. This invention utilizes the synergistic modification of "soluble carbonates + nano-silica +
sodium alginate" to load an excess of
carbonate internally into the resin. This releases
carbonate ions in the cracks, which react with
calcium ions to form
calcite, achieving dual repair through physical expansion and chemical
precipitation.
Cement-based materials incorporating this superabsorbent resin exhibit a 7-day
healing rate of over 90% for cracks up to 300 μm, a near 90% impermeability
recovery rate, and a 28-day
compressive strength loss of only 2.7%. Furthermore, the combination of the superabsorbent resin and
polyethylene fiber effectively prevents
brittle fracture, significantly improving the self-healing effect.
