Abstract

This study analyzed the effect of mixing order on the flowability, compressive strength, and flexural strength of cement composites reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) fibers and multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs). The experimental results showed that the addition of CNTs significantly reduced the flowability, and the flowability was considerably affected by the mixing order when CNTs were added. The compressive strength was most effectively improved when water and CNTs solution were mixed first before adding PVA fibers, and the flexural strength was highest when water and CNTs solution were mixed with PVA fibers after dry mixing. However, there was no clear correlation between the flexural toughness and the mixing order. In addition, scanning electron microscopy(SEM) image analysis was conducted to analyze the microstructure. The SEM images showed that CNTs were randomly dispersed through the specimens and contributed to the strength improvement, but the effect of the mixing order was not clearly observed. The main results of this study are expected to be useful for evaluations of workability and material performance of PVA fiber-reinforced cement composites with CNTs.

이 연구는 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(MWCNTs) 혼입 PVA 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체에서 배합 순서에 따른 영향을 분석하기 위해 배합 순서를 변수로 고려한 실험을 통해 유동성, 압축 및 휨인장 성능을 분석하였다. 실험 결과, CNT 혼입으로 인하여 유동성이 크게 감소하였으며, CNT가 혼입된 경우 배합 순서에 따라 유동성이 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 압축 강도는 물과 CNT 수용액을 미리 섞어 혼입한 후 PVA 섬유를 혼입하는 순서가 가장 강도 증진 효과가 뛰어난 것으로 나타났으며, 휨인장강도는 건비빔 후 물과 CNT 수용액, PVA 섬유를 미리 섞은 후 배합한 방식이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 휨인장 거동에서 연성도는 배합 순서와의 연관성이 명확하게 나타나지 않았다. 또한, 미세구조에의 영향을 분석하기 위해 주사전자현미경(SEM) 이미지 분석을 수행하였다. SEM 이미지 분석 결과, 모든 시편에서 CNT가 골고루 분산되어 분포하고 있는 것으로 나타나 CNT가 강도 증진 효과에 기여하고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었으나, 배합방식으로 인한 차이는 명확하게 나타나지 않았다. 이 연구의 주요 결과는 향후 CNT 혼입 PVA 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 작업성 및 재료성능 평가 관련 연구에 유용할 것으로 기대된다.
