Abstract:
Evaluating and quantifying the impact of the introduction of nanomaterials on microscopic properties is crucial to ensure the carbonation resistance of nano-modified cementitious materials. In this paper, Titanium dioxide @Layered Double Hydroxide (TiO2@LDH) nanospheres with core-shell structure were synthesized by two-step method and showed notable dispersion and stability in cementitious matrix. The effect of TiO2@LDH on cement hydration, carbonation behavior, microstructure and mechanical properties of mortar were investigated. The results show that under the effect of nucleation and refinement, the hydration degree of mortar containing TiO2@LDH increases by 19.6 % and the total porosity decreases by 12.5 %, and the compressive strength increased by about 27.01 %. By adjusting the growth rate and particle size of CH crystals, the CO2 absorption capacity of mortar increased by 28 %. The synergistic mechanism of TiO2@LDH promoting hydration and early CO2 uptake to improve the carbonation resistance of mortar was proposed. More importantly, based on the reduction of mortar porosity and the formation of early physical barriers, the carbonation resistance and gas permeability of mortar were reduced by 53.7 % and 79.7 %, respectively. This novel nano-control technology provides a promising alternative for the application and development of carbon sequestration in cementitious materials.
