New magnesia-polyphosphate cement composites: Synthesis and processing under MDF-like conditions
- Univ. of Illinois, Urbana, IL (United States)
Macro-Defect-Free (MDF) cements represent a major breakthrough in processing advanced cement-based materials. When a mixture of CaAl{sub 2}O{sub 4}/PVA (PVA = polyvinyl alcohol acetate) is processed under high shear mixing conditions, it transform into a high-strength material. The authors` current efforts have been focused on producing similar materials in a purely inorganic system. Thus MgO has been reacted at room temperature with sodium polyphosphates of the general formula Na{sub n}H{sub 2}P{sub n}O{sub 3n+1}{center_dot}xH{sub 2}O n = 6,15,70 and crystalline sodium Kurrol salts (NaPO{sub 3}){sub n}, n>1000, where n is the average degree of polymerization. Processing of all these sodium polyphosphates with MgO under MDF-like conditions gave cement pastes that had compressive strengths ranging from 130 MPa to 140 MPa at 10-12% porosties.
