  • Publication number: 20240300857
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides use of a graphene oxide/butyl acrylate/silane composite emulsion as an anti-shrinkage agent of a cement-based material. In the present disclosure, active groups on an isobutyltriethoxysilane molecule reacts with hydroxyl groups on a surface of a mortar to form a layered hydrophobic structure, thereby slowing a water loss in the mortar of the cement-based material and avoiding cracking caused by drying shrinkage. Butyl acrylate can be dehydrated to form polymer fibers with a spatial network to fill pores of a cement paste, thereby limiting the shrinkage of the mortar. Graphene oxide has a relatively large specific surface area and oxygen-containing functional groups on a surface, which can provide growth sites for hydration products, and promote the hydration products to form a regular and dense structure in the form of a template, thus ensuring a strength of the cement-based material.

  • Publication number: 20240254047
    Abstract: Provided is the use of a silane composite emulsion as an anti-cracking enhancer in a cement-based material. In the present disclosure, active groups on an isobutyltriethoxysilane molecule react with hydroxyl groups on a surface of a mortar to form a layered hydrophobic structure, slowing down a water loss inside the mortar of a cement-based material. The dehydration of butyl acrylate forms a network structure, which fills pores of the cement-based material, inhibits shrinkage of the cement-based material, and reduces the cracking caused by the shrinkage. Tetraethoxysilane can undergo hydrolysis at a room temperature to generate nano-silica with a large number of hydroxyl groups on a surface; and the nano-silica can undergo secondary hydration with calcium hydroxide in the cement to form a secondary hydration product C—S—H gel, thereby filling most of voids to make a structure of the cement hydration product denser, to increase a strength of the mortar.

  • Publication number: 20240174566
    Abstract: Provided are a nano-titanium dioxide (NT)/biochar (BC) composite, and a preparation method and use thereof, which belong to the technical field of cement-based materials. NT is introduced into a porous structure of the micron-sized BC, which not only addresses the high aggregation of NT, but also reduces Ca(OH)2 size and crystal growth orientation through effects such as filling and nucleation brought by NT in the porous structure of BC. In this way, more C—S—H gels are generated to fill the pores, thereby improving an interfacial transition zone (ITZ), which enhances the mechanical properties such as compressive strength and flexural strength.

  • Patent number: 11312866
    Abstract: A superhydrophobic coating is provided and contains organosilane, an inorganic nanomaterial, and an emulsifying agent. A mass proportion of the components is controlled, so that the superhydrophobic coating can form a micro-nano mixed microstructure inside foam concrete. The organosilane first forms dense hydrophobic surface layers on the surface and in inner pores of the foam concrete, and the nanomaterial forms uniformly distributed nano-bulges on the hydrophobic surface layers formed by the silane. The superhydrophobic performance of the foam concrete can be effectively improved by combining the two microstructures. The foam concrete exhibits excellent superhydrophobic performance.
