This application relates to the field of
road engineering materials technology, and discloses a composite
slurry seal with a biomimetic scale-structured waterproof layer and its preparation method. The seal includes a two-layer
composite structure comprising a waterproof functional layer, an interlayer bonding layer, and an abrasion functional layer. The waterproof layer raw materials include surface-activated modified PET aggregate, thixotropic modified emulsified
asphalt containing a
rheology modifier, and active fillers. The preparation method covers PET
surface modification, thixotropic
system construction, interlayer bonding during a specific
window period, and layered paving processes. This invention solves the problem of upward
buoyancy and layering by introducing a
rheology modifier to construct a thixotropic network, utilizing yield stress to balance
buoyancy, restricting the vertical migration of lightweight PET aggregate, and promoting its orderly layered arrangement.
Surface chemical modification transforms the
physical interface into chemical bonding, significantly improving
interfacial bonding strength. Combined with a flexible-at-the-bottom, rigid-at-the-top structural design, it significantly improves the seal's waterproof sealing,
crack resistance, durability, and shear stability.
