Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hydraulic compositions containing cement or gypsum as a hardening agent face challenges in reducing weight while maintaining or increasing bubble size, which affects strength and insulation properties, and there is a need to enhance environmental and cost efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A bubble-containing hydraulic composition using a foaming agent comprising alkyl or alkenyl sulfates with specific ratios of components (A1) and (A2) to create a foam film that balances bubble size and weight reduction, incorporating components (A1) and (A2) in a hydraulic composition to achieve low specific gravity and large bubble size.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Weight of stationary object
If the volume proportion of bubbles is increased to reduce the weight of the hardened product, then the specific gravity is reduced, but the strength decreases due to reduced proportion of hydraulic composition
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the parameters of the foaming agent by specifying a particular composition of alkyl sulfates (components A1 and A2) with controlled mass ratios. This parameter optimization enables the formation of larger bubbles that provide weight reduction while maintaining structural integrity and strength of the hardened product.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a composite foaming agent system combining two specific alkyl sulfate components (A1 and A2) in defined proportions. This composite approach creates a synergistic effect that produces bubbles with optimal size and stability, resolving the contradiction between weight reduction and strength maintenance.
2Strength
If the size of bubbles is made larger to increase strength and improve insulation, then the distance between bubbles increases reducing combination, but the volume proportion of bubbles decreases reducing weight reduction effect
Solution Approach 1:
The invention optimizes the parameters of the foaming agent composition to produce bubbles of specific size ranges. By controlling the mass ratio of components A1 and A2, the system generates bubbles that are large enough to improve strength and insulation properties while maintaining sufficient volume proportion for effective weight reduction.
