Background
The development of infrastructure construction not only promotes the increase of the demand of high-performance concrete, but also puts higher requirements on the performance of the high-efficiency water reducing agent. Compared with other water reducing agents, the polycarboxylic acid high-performance water reducing agent has the advantages of low mixing amount, high water reducing rate, low slump loss, low shrinkage, low pollution in the production process and the like, and becomes one of the most active water reducing agents studied at home and abroad.
In some important concrete projects, in particular to projects such as high-speed railways, nuclear power hydropower, bridges and tunnels, the polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent is already applied in a large scale. In terms of the prior art, the polycarboxylic acid high-performance water reducing agent is the only high-performance water reducing agent capable of preparing C100 concrete. The main reason is that the molecular structure parameters of the polycarboxylate water reducer can be designed, and the modifiability of the chain structure and a large amount of polymerizable monomers are the basis of various types, multiple purposes and high performance of the polycarboxylate water reducer.
The polycarboxylic acid high-performance water reducing agent is a typical high molecular surfactant, and the molecule of the polycarboxylic acid high-performance water reducing agent often contains active groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, sulfonic group, ester group, polyoxyalkylene chain link and the like so as to provide anchoring, solubilization, electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance repulsion, so that the polycarboxylic acid high-performance water reducing agent has strong adsorption and dispersion effects. The common polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent has less group amount and short side chain, and is difficult to greatly improve the water reducing rate, and the mechanical property of concrete cannot be obviously improved by doping the common water reducing agent, so that the modification of the common polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent is one of important means for improving the performance of the concrete.
Researches find that the graphene oxide nanophase sheet layer can regulate and control cement hydration reaction and form regular flower-shaped and polyhedral crystal structures, and has the effect of remarkably improving the strength and toughness of a cement matrix, but the graphene oxide is difficult to uniformly disperse and remarkably reduces the fluidity in alkaline cement slurry, and is serious. The problem that the dispersibility of the graphene oxide is not uniform enough can be improved to a certain extent by using an ultrasonic treatment method, but the long-chain molecular structure of the water reducing agent can be damaged by the ultrasonic process, and particularly when the main chain contains quaternary carbon atoms, the performance of the water reducing agent is seriously influenced.
Therefore, how to uniformly disperse the graphene oxide in the cement paste and simultaneously exert the original performance of the polycarboxylate superplasticizer so as to improve the mechanical property and durability of the cement-based material has important significance.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the technical effects that:
1. according to the invention, a free radical copolymerization method is adopted, so that polycarboxylic acid macromolecules are grafted between graphene oxide lamella layers through covalent bonds, and the dispersion capacity of graphene oxide is improved. The prepared graphite oxide-carboxylic acid water reducing agent has high water reducing rate and good dispersibility under low doping amount, can exert the potential of graphene oxide for enhancing the mechanical property of the cement-based material, and improves the strength of the cement matrix.
2. The invention adopts two measures to improve the degree of polymerization reaction: (1) when the redox initiator is added, the oxidant is added into the system firstly, so that the graphene oxide can be prevented from being reduced into graphene; (2) the acrylic monomer has high activity, and can avoid homopolymerization by adopting a sectional dripping mode.
3. Compared with high-temperature polymerization reaction, the single azo initiator and peroxy initiator cannot meet the polymerization reaction requirement of the system. The invention adopts a persulfate initiator and redox initiator dual-initiation system, and has the characteristics of low activation energy, high initiation rate, short induction period and the like, so that the graphite oxide-carboxylic acid water reducing agent can be synthesized in a lower temperature environment, the energy can be saved, and the production cost can be reduced.
