Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 化學系 === 84 === Chemical admixture is one key component in forming high performance concrete. This study has selected several domestic chemical admixtures, namely sulfonated naphthalene- formaldehyde condensates (N1, N2, N3, N4), sulfonated melamine- formaldehyde condensates (M1), and sulfonated phenolic resin (S1). The basic properties of these chemical admixtures were determined through IR, UV, TGA and GPC measurements. The cement pastes with or without chemical admixtures present were prepared and tested at the curing age of 1, 3, 7, 28day. The degree of hydration and the length of polysilicate of tested materials were analyzed from Solid 29Si MAS NMR spectra; the amount of CH and C3S of samples were examined by using a powder X-ray diffractometer; the Vicat Needle was applied to determine the setting time of cement pastes. Thus, the effects of admixtures on the hydration behavior of cement pastes were investigated. Moreover, the effect of admixtures on the material properties of harden samples were also examined through fluidity, compressive strength and porosity measurements. The results show that different type of admixture presents different properties such as appearance, solid content, UV spectrum and molecular weight and distribution. Both the degree of hydration and the length of polysilicate of cement pastes increases with curing age. Pastes with W/C=0.4 become more hydrated than those with W/C=0.3. Admixtures would lower the degree of cement hydration or prolong the setting time; the retarding effect is in the order of N2 >S1 >N1 > M1. Besides, increase of admixture dosage also show more retarding effect. As most chemical admixtures could enhance the dispersion of cement particles; they will enhance the fluidity of cement pastes, densify the microstructures, and increase the compressive strength of the resulting materials. However, it is noted that both N2 and S1 exhibit less reinforcement effect, since they show more retarding effect on the cement hydration.
