Accelerated Curing of Concrete01:25

Accelerated Curing of Concrete

593
Accelerating concrete curing is achieved by applying heat and additional moisture. This process accelerates the hydration of the cement, resulting in an earlier strength gain in the concrete. Steam curing is a method wherein the concrete products are either transported through a chamber on a conveyor belt or encased in plastic, allowing steam at atmospheric pressure to circulate freely around them. This process begins with a phase of moist curing that typically lasts between 3 to 5 hours, after...

Curing Methods

377
Concrete members with a small surface-to-volume ratio are cured by oiling and moistening the forms before casting the concrete member. These forms can be left in place for a prolonged period to prevent moisture loss, and can be wetted if made of a material suitable for wetting. If the forms are removed early, the concrete member is moistened and covered with polythene sheets to maintain moisture. For large horizontal concrete surfaces exposed to dry weather, a temporary covering is suspended...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Traditional instant curing adhesives rely on light, heat, or chemical activation, limiting their application scope.
  • These conventional methods often require specific substrates and controlled environmental conditions for activation.
  • Existing strategies present challenges for applications demanding precise control and versatility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel instant curing adhesive utilizing low-voltage activation.
  • To synthesize and characterize an electrocuring adhesive based on dendrimer chemistry.
  • To explore the tunable crosslinking properties and adhesive strength of the developed material.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesized electrocuring adhesive by grafting carbene precursors onto polyamidoamine dendrimers.
  • Formulated viscous gels by dissolving the modified dendrimers in aqueous solvents.
  • Activated the adhesive using a low voltage (-2 V versus Ag/AgCl) for tunable crosslinking.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated voltage-dependent and time-dependent crosslinking initiation and propagation.
  • Achieved immediate termination of crosslinking upon discontinuation of applied voltage.
  • Tuned material properties and adhesive strength through controlled voltage and time application.

Conclusions:

  • The developed electrocuring adhesive provides a new method for instant adhesion with precise control.
  • Tunable crosslinking and immediate termination offer advantages over traditional curing methods.
  • This technology has significant potential for manufacturing and the development of implantable bioadhesives.
