Abstract

For the purpose of development of the latex suitable for latex modified concrete, experimental researches on the preparation of carboxylated styrene butadiene latex by the method of the two-step emulsion polymerization and application to concrete were performed. Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium salt of lauryl sulfonate were selected as anionic emulsifiers, and nonylphenoxy poly(ethyleneoxy) ethanols (n=10, 20, 40) as latex stabilizer. Potassium persulfate and sodium bisulfite were used as redox initiator, besides $Na_2HPO_4$ and $K_2CO_3$ as electrolytes. Polymerization recipe of latex suitable for latex modified concrete were suggested from the experimental researches on the effects of anionic emulsifiers and their concentration on the polymerization stability, and the effect of electrolytes concentration on the particle size of latex. Physical properties, such as slump, air contents, compressive and flexural strength, of latex prepared by suggested polymerization recipe were examined. The experimental results showed that latex modified concrete satisfied the quality standards in slump and air contents. Furthermore, it was turned out that the compressive and the flexural strength of latex modified concrete with 28 days curing time showed appreciably improvements.

라텍스 개질 콘크리트의 혼화용 라텍스를 개발할 목적으로 carboxylated styrene butadiene 라텍스를 이단계 유화중합법으로 제조하고 콘크리트에 적용하는 실험을 수행하였다. 음이온 유화제로는 sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate와 sodium salt of lauryl sulfate를 선정하였고, 라텍스 안정제로는 nonylphenoxy poly(ethyleneoxy) ethanol 계열의 동족체들(n=10, 20, 40)을, 그리고 potassium persulfate와 sodium bisulfite를 redox 개시제로, $Na_2HPO_4$와 $K_2CO_3$를 전해질로 각각 사용하였다. 중합안정성에 대한 음이온 유화제의 종류와 사용량의 영향 및 입자크기의 전해질 농도 의존성을 실험적으로 고찰하여 LMC용 라텍스 제조에 적합한 중합처방을 제시하였다. 이 중합처방으로 제조한 라텍스의 LMC 용도에 대한 적용성을 시험한 결과, 슬럼프와 공기량은 한국도로공사의 품질기준을 충족하며, 역학적 물성시험 결과에서는 28일간 경화시킨 시편의 압축강도와 휨강도가 품질기준보다 각각 39.6, 87.3% 더 높은 증진효과가 발현됨을 확인하였다.
