Background
Geopolymers are a new class of high performance inorganic polymer cements, one of the most promising alkali-activated cements. Due to the special inorganic condensed three-dimensional oxide network structure, the geopolymer material has better high-temperature performance and mechanical performance than high-molecular materials, cement, ceramics and metals in many aspects. On the other hand, the energy consumption and the waste discharge amount of the preparation process of the geopolymer material are very low, and the geopolymer material is a sustainable-development green environment-friendly material. The geopolymer has many excellent properties, such as good mechanical properties, small shrinkage and expansion rate, corrosion resistance and remarkable heat insulation effect, and therefore, can be used as a cementing material to replace cement. However, when it is used as a cement substitute, it has problems of high brittleness and low fracture-compression ratio. And thus the application is limited.
In the prior art, many scholars have carried out modification research on geopolymers, for example, the Chinese patent application No. 201910537921.4 discloses a geopolymer toughened by styrene-acrylic emulsion and a preparation method thereof; the Chinese invention patent of application number 201810203132.2 discloses an epoxy resin toughened metakaolin-based polymer and a preparation method thereof; the chinese patent application No. 201611127977.5 discloses a chitosan modified geopolymer gelled material; the Chinese patent application No. 201910062137.2 discloses a super high toughness geopolymer and its preparation method, wherein the toughening agent is polyvinyl alcohol fiber; leather from a performance study of polyvinyl alcohol-modified geopolymer composites was published by yunity et al; and so on. The modifiers used in the above patents or articles are all polymer materials, but polymer materials have the defects of easy aging, no high temperature resistance and the like.
In addition, after the geopolymer is hydrated and hardened, a hardened body has more harmful holes with the hole diameter of 50-200 nm, so that not only is the strength influenced, but also the comprehensive performances such as frost resistance, durability and the like of the geopolymer are influenced, and the popularization and application of the geopolymer are restricted.
However, the micro-nano material has a very small size, a particle diameter of substantially less than 100 μm, a large specific surface area and a large surface energy, so that the acting force between particles (such as van der waals force, electrostatic force, liquid bridge force, and the like) is large relative to the gravity thereof, and the micro-nano material is stored in a natural state and often exists in an agglomerated form, so that the micro-nano material has more limitations in use.
The calcium sulfate whisker is a micron-sized short fiber, and is a novel inorganic toughening material with excellent performances such as high modulus, high strength, low defect, high melting point and the like. The reinforcing and toughening material has the characteristics of high length-diameter ratio of the traditional fiber, small size of the micro-nano material, low production and purchase cost and high cost performance. However, the whisker is easy to agglomerate and not easy to disperse, and how to realize surface modification of the whisker, reduce the surface energy of the whisker and reduce the molecular force among particles, the modified whisker can be dispersed in an alkaline solution, and can form good surface bonding with a geopolymer at the same time, and a space skeleton structure is better formed by being wrapped by a geopolymer matrix, which is a problem to be solved in application.
As described above, the present patent application has been made to solve the main problems of brittle polymers, poor durability, and difficulty in dispersion of whiskers, and to achieve good surface bonding between whiskers and geopolymers.

The preparation principle of the trisodium phosphate modified calcium sulfate whisker is as follows: dissolving trisodium phosphate in deionized water will produce hydrolysis reaction to produce hydrogen phosphate radical (HPO)4 2-) (formula 1), the hydrogen phosphate radical is easy to generate ion substitution reaction with calcium sulfate on the surface of the whisker to replace SO4 2-And a calcium hydrogen phosphate film (formula 2) is formed on the surface of the whisker, and a large amount of hydroxyl (-OH) capable of participating in early reaction of the geopolymer is formed on the surface of the whisker. The schematic diagram of whisker modification is shown in figure 2. After inorganic modification, the surface of the whisker is activated, so that the whisker is easy to disperse in a geopolymer, and can participate in deconstruction-polycondensation reaction of the geopolymer, so that the connection strength of the whisker and the geopolymer is improved, and the modification effect of the whisker on the geopolymer is improved.
The invention takes a silicon-aluminum material as a main raw material, sodium silicate as an alkali activator and trisodium phosphate modified calcium sulfate whisker as a reinforcing agent. Calcium sulfate whisker modified by trisodium phosphate has the surface attached with monomolecular layer of calcium hydrogen phosphate (CaHPO)4) The film can reduce Van der Waals force among the whiskers, prevent the reunion of the calcium sulfate whiskers in the geopolymer matrix, and enable the calcium sulfate whiskers to be uniformly and independently distributed in the geopolymer matrix, and in addition, a large number of hydroxyl groups (-OH) formed on the surfaces of the whiskers can be subjected to hydrolytic polycondensation reaction with Si-OH and Al-OH generated before the polycondensation reaction of the geopolymer, so that the whiskers are effectively combined with the geopolymer, and the stability of the mechanical property of the modified whisker/geopolymer composite material is improved. The modified whiskers are uniformly dispersed in the geopolymer matrix, so that pores in the geopolymer are effectively filled, and meanwhile, the growth of cracks in the geopolymer is inhibited, and a bridging effect is achieved. In situ polymerizationWhen the object is subjected to the action of external force load, the crack grows to break or pull out the whisker, a large amount of energy is consumed, and the mechanical property of the geopolymer can be effectively improved. The calcium sulfate whisker has a high melting point of 1450 ℃, has good heat resistance and a low heat conductivity coefficient, and can absorb most of heat when a geopolymer is in a high-temperature environment, so that the influence of the environmental temperature on the geopolymer is reduced, and the heat resistance of the geopolymer composite material is improved. Because the calcium sulfate whisker contains SO4 2-In an acidic environment, can resist a part of SO4 2-Erosion of (2). The calcium sulfate whisker fills the pores of partial polymers, so that the porosity of the geopolymer is reduced, the Na element is slowly separated out, and the durability of the geopolymer in an acid environment is improved.
