Abstract: The invention belongs to the field of electronic ceramics and its manufacturing, in particular to the modified NiO—Ta2O5-based microwave dielectric ceramic material sintered at low temperature and its preparation method. It is guided by ion doping modification, not only considering the substitution of ions with similar radius, such as Zn2+ replacing Ni2+ ions, V5+ replacing Ta5+ ions; Meanwhile, the selected doped oxide still has the property of low melting point.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a modified montmorillonite self-repairing agent and a preparation method and use thereof, and belongs to the technical field of cement repairing materials. Montmorillonite is mixed with water, such that water is fully adsorbed between montmorillonite layers. The structure of montmorillonite is modified by supercritical CO2 treatment at a temperature of 50-60° C. and a pressure of 8-12 MPa, and the self-repairing efficiency of cement is improved by adding the modified montmorillonite into cement. Supercritical CO2 is adsorbed by montmorillonite, such that the montmorillonite is activated and an interlayer distance is increased to improve the repairing efficiency. When a crack is formed in cement, the adsorbed supercritical CO2 in montmorillonite is released into the crack and combined with positive ions to generate carbonate deposition, such that the crack is sealed and the self-repairing activity of the cement is improved.
