    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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. The NT/BC composite of the disclosure is doped into a cement-based material, which allows that in a surface layer of the cement-based material, CO2 absorption capacity could be improved through carbon sequestration properties and the porous structure of the composite, and the carbonization of the surface layer could be accelerated by hydration accelerating properties of the NT to form a calcium carbonate surface protective layer, thereby improving durability of the cement-based material.
