Background
The cement concrete is the most used building material in the world, but the cement concrete has the defects of self weight, low strength, brittleness and the like. With the rapid development of the construction industry, new requirements are continuously provided for various performances of concrete, such as improving the strength of the concrete, improving the slump loss of the concrete in the transportation process and the like. The admixture, especially the high efficiency water reducing agent, is added into the concrete, which is an effective, simple and economic method for reducing the water-cement ratio, improving the concrete strength and improving various performances of the concrete. The current materials mainly comprise a modified lignin water reducing agent, a naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate high-efficiency water reducing agent, a melamine sulfonate formaldehyde condensate and a novel carboxylic acid graft copolymer superplasticizer.
The slump of the traditional condensation polymerization type water reducing agents such as naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate high-efficiency water reducing agents, melamine sulfonate formaldehyde condensate and the like is greatly changed with time, the production process pollutes the environment and is not beneficial to sustainable development. And because of the restriction of the molecular structure and the action mechanism, the problem of slump loss cannot be fundamentally solved, the performance cannot be greatly improved, and the requirements of the development of low water-cement ratio, high-strength and ultrahigh-strength concrete cannot be met.
Researchers have turned their attention to carboxylic acid-based graft polymers, also known as third generation novel polymer superplasticizers, which have: firstly, the content of the additive is low (0.2-0.5%) so as to exert high dispersion performance; good slump retaining performance, and basically no loss of slump of fresh concrete within 90 minutes; the freedom degree of the molecular structure is large, the controllable parameters of the additive manufacturing technology are more, and the potential of high performance is large; fourthly, the concrete superplasticizer is widely used in the synthesis without using formaldehyde which is a strong irritant substance and causing any pollution to the environment, and the like, and becomes a worldwide research hotspot.
CN1058474 reported a novel dispersion composition for cement excellent in slump loss inhibition property, which is obtained by polymerizing alkenyl ether, dialkenyl ether and maleic anhydride as monomers in a toluene solvent using azo-bis-isobutyronitrile as an initiator, and which has good slump retention ability but unsatisfactory dispersibility and is environmentally unfavorable in production process.
EP0924174 synthesizes different polymers with two side chains of different lengths, wherein the polymer with the long side chain has good dispersibility but poor slump retention due to large steric hindrance, and the copolymer with the short side chain has good slump retention but poor dispersibility. When two different copolymers are compounded in different proportions, the compound has both a certain dispersibility and slump-retaining ability, but the dispersibility and slump-retaining ability are far from sufficient.
EP1138697 and US570317 report that the expensive primary amine terminated monomethyl polyether is used as raw material, and active primary amine and carboxyl are used for grafting reaction, but the product price is expensive and is not favorable for strong popularization.
In addition, in order to solve the slump loss of concrete, the synthesis of ester cross-linked body is reported in US5362324 and US5661206, and the ester cross-linked body is subjected to chain scission in an alkaline medium of cement, so that the molecular weight is reduced, and the ester cross-linked body has good slump retention capacity, but the dispersibility is not very excellent, and the ester cross-linked body is not suitable for preparing low water-cement ratio and ultra-high strength concrete.
With the development of concrete technology towards low water-cement ratio, high strength, ultrahigh strength, high fluidity and high durability, efficient superplasticizers with more excellent water reducing rate and slump retaining performance must be further developed, and a great deal of research and attempt is made by many scholars.
US2002/0193547A1 describes a method for preparing a polycarboxylic superplasticizer, which comprises the steps of adopting an adduct of polyethyleneimine with a certain molecular weight and ethylene oxide, carrying out a grafting reaction with glycidyl methacrylate at a low temperature to prepare a macromonomer with polymerization activity, and then carrying out a copolymerization reaction with methacrylic acid and methoxy polyethylene glycol methacrylic acid monoester in an aqueous medium to obtain a target product, wherein the product has good dispersibility and dispersion retention performance.
US6680348B1 also describes a method for preparing a water-soluble amphoteric carboxylic acid superplasticizer, which comprises the steps of carrying out a condensation reaction between excess diethylenetriamine or polyethylene polyamine and adipic acid to prepare a polycondensate with active amine groups, carrying out a grafting reaction with equal moles of methacrylic acid to prepare a macromonomer containing amine groups, carrying out a ring-opening polymerization reaction between the remaining amine groups on the macromonomer and ethylene oxide in a high-pressure reaction kettle to prepare a cationic macromonomer component capable of participating in a polymerization reaction, and finally carrying out a copolymerization reaction with a methacrylic acid sodium salt and methoxy polyethylene glycol methacrylic acid monoester in an aqueous solution reaction medium to obtain a target product. The product has good dispersibility and dispersion retention property.
However, the copolymers described in US2002/0193547A1 and US6680348B1 have complicated preparation process, difficult control of operation, and high admixture content in high strength concrete.
Therefore, there are many problems with the current polycarboxylic acid superplasticizers, the synthesis process of these products is unsatisfactory, unclean and uneconomical, and the application properties are not completely satisfactory, some products have good dispersibility but poor dispersibility retention ability, and some products have slump retention ability but poor dispersibility. And the prior polycarboxylic admixture product has low saturation point, the water reducing rate is difficult to reach more than 35 percent, the water reducing performance is difficult to be further improved even if the mixing amount is increased, and the requirements of the development of low water-cement ratio, high-strength and high-performance concrete can not be met.
Disclosure of Invention
The object of the present invention was to develop amphoteric carboxylic acid comb graft copolymers which are usable as superplasticizers for concrete, which do not have the disadvantages described in the background, are relatively simple in production technology and have good application-technical properties.
Through a large number of experimental researches, researchers of the invention find that the comb-shaped copolymer with the short grafted side chain has low dispersion performance and good dispersion retention due to weak steric hindrance effect, and the copolymer with the longer grafted side chain has good early flowing performance and poor flowing retention due to strong steric hindrance effect. Therefore, in order to improve the dispersion performance, a large amount of long polyether side chains must be introduced into the main chain to provide steric hindrance, so that good dispersion performance can be provided.
Through a large number of experimental researches, researchers of the invention find that a cement system is a high-salt and high-pH-value system, and the molecular conformation of the traditional carboxylic acid graft copolymer is influenced by the salt concentration, particularly Ca2+The influence of (2) is great, if the conformation is relatively shrunk in a cement system, the adsorption is relatively slow, and the steric hindrance provided is relatively low, so that the concrete is not favorably dispersed. The carboxylic acid graft copolymer main chain is designed into a zwitterionic polymer, so that the sensitivity of the carboxylic acid graft copolymer main chain to inorganic salt ions is reduced, the stretching conformation of the carboxylic acid graft copolymer main chain is maintained, and electrostatic repulsive force can be provided, so that the dispersing performance of the carboxylic acid graft copolymer main chain is improved.
The researchers of the invention also find that when the main chain of the carboxylic acid graft copolymer is designed into an amphoteric polymer, the saturated doping amount of the carboxylic acid graft copolymer serving as a concrete superplasticizer can be greatly improved, and the water-cement ratio of concrete can be greatly reduced.
Researchers found that amphoteric carboxylic acid comb-shaped graft copolymers can be copolymerized by an aqueous solution copolymerization method by directly introducing a cationic monomer, and the synthesized copolymers show excellent dispersing performance and high saturation doping amount.
Researchers find that the proportion of long side chains is increased in the copolymer, which inevitably causes the slump retention capacity of the copolymer to be reduced, and the researchers find that the carboxylic acid polymer is subjected to partial crosslinking reaction by introducing the polymer or monomer capable of performing crosslinking reaction, the partially crosslinked carboxylic acid copolymer is hydrolyzed in the alkaline environment of cement slurry and gradually converted into a low molecular polymer with a dispersing function, so that the purpose of improving the slump retention performance is achieved, and meanwhile, the adsorption state of the graft copolymer on cement particles can be changed by adjusting the relative proportion of anions and cations, so that the slump retention performance of the graft copolymer is also favorably improved.
According to the research, the amphoteric carboxylic acid comb copolymer concrete superplasticizer provided by the invention is prepared by the following steps:

R1O(AO)nH (3)
In the context of the present invention, the monomers a (formula 1) include predominantly acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and their corresponding acrylates or methacrylates, these monomers being used either individually or in the form of mixtures of two or more components.
Monomer b (formula 2) suitable polyether monoacrylates or polyether monomethacrylates, the branched polyether macromolecules (formula 3) being alkylene oxide polymers having a weight average molecular weight of about 200 to 8000, suitable alkylene oxides including ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, and the like, and mixtures thereof. They may be linear or branched polymers, homopolymers or copolymers, random or block copolymers, diblock or multiblock copolymers. Preferred monomers b are polyethylene glycol alkyl ether acrylate, polyethylene glycol alkyl ether methacrylate, alkyl ether acrylate or alkyl ether methacrylate of a block or random copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, which are generated by the esterification reaction of monoalkyl polyether shown in a general formula (3) and unsaturated carboxylic acid shown in a general formula (1) under the conditions of a small amount of solvent medium, acid catalyst and a small amount of polymerization inhibitor. n is the average addition mole number of the oxyalkylene group, and is 10 to 150, preferably 12 to 130, and more preferably 15 to 60.
As typical ions of the cationic monomer c, there may be mentioned methacryloyloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, methacryloyloxyethyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, methacryloyloxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, methacryloyloxypropyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, acryloyloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, acryloyloxyethyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, acrylamidopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, acrylamidopropyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, methacrylamidopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, methacrylamidopropyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, dimethylaminopropylmethacrylamide, N, N-dimethylaminomethylacrylamide, N, N-dimethylacrylamide, N, N-diethylacrylamide, dimethylaminoethylacrylamide, dimethyldiallylammonium chloride.
As the nonionic monomer d, mainly acrylic ester or methacrylic ester monomers are mentioned, and typical examples thereof include methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, butyl methacrylate, hydroxyalkyl acrylate and hydroxyalkyl methacrylate, with methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, hydroxyalkyl acrylate and hydroxyalkyl methacrylate being preferred, and methyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate and hydroxyethyl methacrylate being more preferred, and these components may be used alone or in combination.
As typical examples of the crosslinking agent f which participates in the crosslinking reaction, there may be mentioned diglycidyl phthalate, diglycidyl adipate, various types of polyethylene glycol diglycidyl esters having different molecular weights, various types of polypropylene glycol diglycidyl esters having different molecular weights, and polyethylene-polypropylene glycol diglycidyl esters.
In the scope of the present invention, the monomer a (formula 1) is essential, the monomer a accounts for 8-40% of the total monomer amount, the content of the monomer a is too low, and the synthesized superplasticizer cannot be sufficiently adsorbed on cement particles, and thus cannot exert a dispersing effect. If the content is too high, resulting in too rapid adsorption of the copolymer, the loss of fluidity of fresh concrete or mortar incorporating the copolymer is also rapid.
The monomer b is polyether monoacrylate or polyether monomethacrylate with long chain as shown in the general formula (2) copolymerized into the main chain, and the long chain branch provides steric hindrance mainly, so that the dispersing capacity and the dispersion maintaining capacity of the comb-shaped graft copolymer to cement are improved. The monomer b accounts for 55-85% of the total amount of the monomers, the content of the monomer c is too low, the dispersing effect of the synthesized copolymer is weak, and if the content is too high, the slump loss of the produced copolymer is large.
The cationic monomer c is represented by a general formula (3) and accounts for 2-20%, preferably 4-15% of the total monomer amount, the monomer c content is too low to play a role of an amphoteric polymer, the saturated doping amount of the synthesized copolymer is not high, and if the monomer c content is too high, the synthesized copolymer can generate precipitates and has poor dispersibility and dispersion retentivity.
The monomer d is optional, but is generally about 0 to 15% of the total amount of the monomers.
The free radical copolymerization itself is relatively unimportant and suitable water-soluble initiators for the process of the present invention are conventional free radical water-soluble initiators and mixtures thereof, including water-soluble ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate, hydrogen peroxide and the like. The total amount of initiator added to the reaction mixture should be about 0.1 to 15.0%, preferably about 0.2 to 12% by weight based on the total amount of monomer added, the actual amount added being dependent on the type of initiator used.
The concentration of the copolymerization monomer is preferably controlled to be 15-40%, and the reaction time is controlled to be about 5-10 hours. The monomer mixture and the initiator solution are separately and simultaneously dripped to control the distribution uniformity of the chain links of the copolymer and the stability of the polymerization reaction, and the dripping time of the monomer mixture and the initiator is preferably controlled within 1.5-5.0 hours. The polymerization temperature itself is preferably in the range from 60 to 100 ℃ and is dependent primarily on the decomposition temperature of the initiator used.
After the copolymerization reaction is finished, a certain amount of cross-linking agent is directly added at the temperature, the structure of the cross-linking agent is shown in a general formula (8), when the molecular weight is fixed before cross-linking, the larger the cross-linking agent is, the larger the viscosity after cross-linking is, the poorer the dispersion performance is, the larger the cross-linking agent is, the too high cross-linking density between two polymer molecules is, the copolymer can become water-insoluble gel, and the copolymer does not have the dispersion any more. The amount of crosslinking agent must therefore be controlled to a suitable level, up to one crosslinking point per two molecules, so that the initial flowability of the polymer is not affected by the crosslinking and the flow-holding properties are improved. The dosage of the cross-linking agent is controlled to be 0.5-3% of the total weight of the polymerization monomers, the mixture is stirred for reaction for 1-3 h, and the cross-linking reaction is finished.
After the crosslinking reaction is finished, carboxylic acid or anhydride can be converted into a salt form through a reaction with alkali, the finished product is named SSP, the pH value is preferably adjusted to 7.0-8.5, and if the pH value is too low or too high, the storage stability of the polymer is not good.
In the present invention, the comb-shaped graft copolymer SSP used as a concrete superplasticizer is not particularly limited in weight average molecular weight, and is generally 5,000-500,000, but is preferably 10,000-100,000 in view of slump retaining ability and dispersing ability, and if the molecular weight is too small, not only the water-reducing ability but also the slump retaining ability are greatly reduced, and if the molecular weight is too large, not only the water-reducing ability but also the slump retaining ability are greatly reduced.
When the concrete superplasticizer is used, the conventional mixing amount of the concrete superplasticizer is 0.2-0.5% of the total glue material, and if the water reducing rate is higher, the mixing amount can be increased, even can be up to 1.0% of the total glue material. Of course, if the addition amount is less than 0.20%, the slump-retaining ability of fresh concrete is unsatisfactory.
Of course, the concrete superplasticizer of the present invention may be mixed with at least one selected from the group consisting of sulfamic acid-based water-reducing agents known in the art, lignin-based ordinary water-reducing agents, and existing polycarboxylic acid-based superplasticizers.
In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned known water reducing agents for concrete, air entraining agents, expanding agents, retarders, early strength agents, tackifiers, shrinkage reducing agents, defoaming agents and the like may also be added thereto.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that:
the method adopts an environment-friendly aqueous solution copolymerization mode, does not use toxic substances such as formaldehyde, strong corrosive fuming sulfuric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, can realize zero emission in the reaction process, does not produce any waste gas, waste water or waste residue, and realizes the clean production of the concrete water reducer; the pollution of the traditional concrete water reducing agent production process to the environment is thoroughly eliminated;
the invention firstly provides that the saturated doping amount of the concrete superplasticizer can be improved by the zwitterionic polymer, and introduces the zwitterionic concept into the molecular structure design of the concrete admixture, so as to synthesize the amphoteric carboxylic acid graft copolymer concrete superplasticizer with high water-reducing rate;
compared with the conventional water reducing agent, the concrete superplasticizer prepared by the invention has outstanding dispersion performance and slump retention capacity under very low mixing amount, and the water reducing rate can be continuously increased along with the increase of the mixing amount, the saturation point is very high, and the product reinforcing effect is good. When the admixture is detected according to the standard of JC473-2001 concrete pumping aid, when the admixture is cement amount and the admixture amount is 0.3 percent, the water reducing rate can reach 38 percent, the admixture amount is increased, the water reducing rate can reach 45 percent at most, the strength of the admixture can be stably increased in both early and middle and later periods, and the preparation of C80 strength grade concrete can be realized by using 390kg of low cement;
the concrete superplasticizer prepared in the invention has good adaptability to cement and admixture, has good slump retaining capacity, basically does not lose slump within 90 minutes of fresh concrete, and if the addition amount is less than 0.20%, the slump retaining capacity of the fresh concrete is unsatisfactory;
the concrete superplasticizer prepared by the invention has extremely high water reducing performance, the water reducing rate can reach 45 percent at most, and the concrete superplasticizer is relatively suitable for preparing high-strength and ultrahigh-strength concrete, self-compacting high-strength concrete and active powder concrete.
The concrete superplasticizer prepared by the invention can be used in the dispersion of various cements, can greatly improve the mixing amount (up to 70 percent at most) of mineral admixtures (such as slag, fly ash and silica fume) in the concrete, is beneficial to environmental protection and sustainable development, and can also be used in the dispersion of gypsum, coal dust, ceramics, other powdery materials and other hydraulic materials which are not cement.

Application examples
In the application example, the adopted cement is 425R.P.II of Jinningyang and the sand is fineness modulus MxThe medium sand is 2.6, and the stones are crushed stones with the grain size of 5-20 mm in continuous gradation.
In the present embodiment, the test methods of the bleeding rate, the gas content and the setting time are performed with reference to the relevant regulations of 6B8076-97 concrete admixture.
The slump constant and the slump loss are executed according to related regulations of JC473-2001 concrete pumping aid, the mixing ratio C to S to G adopted by the test is 390 to 733 to 967, the slump constant is 20 +/-2 cm by adjusting the water adding amount of the reference concrete without admixture and the tested concrete with admixture, the slump constant and the expansion retention value after 60min and 90min are measured, the water reducing rate and the strength development change value of the test piece in different ages of maintenance are measured, and the concrete compressive strength and the compressive strength ratio are executed according to related regulations of GB/T50081-2002 common concrete mechanical property test method standard.
Application example 1
The properties of the carboxylic acid-based graft copolymers synthesized in the production examples and comparative examples were evaluated, and the results are shown in Table 4, in which the amount of the copolymer was fixed to 0.3% by weight based on the total weight of cement.
TABLE 4
From the results, the amphiprotic carboxylic acid graft copolymer synthesized in the scope of the invention has good dispersion performance and slump-retaining performance, slump and expansion of fresh concrete are not lost basically for 90min, the strength is increased greatly, the 28d compressive strength reaches above 70MPa basically with low cement consumption of 390kg, and the amphiprotic carboxylic acid graft polymer of the invention does not affect the setting time of concrete, but when the chain length of a grafting side is too long, although the dispersion performance is excellent, the slump retaining capability is poor (such as SSP-8), and in addition, when the content of a carboxylic acid adsorption group is too high, the adsorption is too fast, not only the initial dispersion performance is poor, but also the slump loss is fast. It can also be seen from the comparative examples that the slump retaining property of the amphoteric carboxylic acid-based graft polymer which is not crosslinked is poor.
Application example 2
The impact of different copolymer contents on the fresh concrete performance was examined by taking the amphoteric carboxylic acid graft copolymer SSP-4 as an example, and the slump of the fresh concrete was set to 20 + -2 cm at the beginning by adjusting the water consumption by comparing the anionic graft copolymer of comparative example 2, and the test results are shown in Table 5.
The test result shows that the water reducing rate of the amphoteric carboxylic acid graft copolymer SSP-4 synthesized by direct copolymerization is improved along with the increase of the doping amount, when the dosage of the doping cement is 0.2 percent, the water reducing rate is close to 30 percent, when the doping amount is improved to 0.3 percent, the water reducing rate of concrete is more than 38 percent, the slump loss is basically not lost in 90min, when the doping amount is improved to 0.4 percent, the water reducing rate is 42.8 percent, and along with the increase of the doping amount, the strength is increased rapidly, the 3d compressive strength ratio is basically more than 250 percent, and the 28d compressive strength ratio is basically more than 200 percent. In contrast, comparative example 2 is an anionic graft copolymer, and when the amount of the admixture is 0.2% of the amount of the cement, the dispersibility is substantially saturated, and the water-reducing rate is increased little, sometimes even slightly, by increasing the admixture amount. However, when the content of the amphoteric carboxylic acid graft copolymer is less than 0.30%, slump loss of fresh concrete is large.
TABLE 5
Application example 3
Taking the amphoteric carboxylic acid graft copolymer SSP-4 as an example to prepare reactive Powder concrete RPC (reactive Powder concrete), the most critical measure for preparing RPC is to reduce the water-cement ratio as much as possible, so a large amount of superplasticizer needs to be added to improve the working degree of the concrete. Table 6 shows the RPC mixing ratio, wherein the steel wire cut-off type superfine fiber has the length of 13mm, the diameter of 0.175mm, the tensile strength of 1800MPa, the mixing amount of the high-efficiency water reducing agent is calculated by the mass percent of the cementing material, and the slurry fluidity is 180 mm-200 mm.
