Abstract

In this study, to examine the use of sulfur polymer as a coating agent for concrete, durability and hazard evaluations were performed. The result of the evaluation indicated that the chemical resistance of the coating agent for concrete was outstanding against acidic, base, and alkaline solutions. The evaluation of the bond strength after an accelerated weathering test depending on the mixing condition indicated that the most outstanding strength characteristic was obtained when silica powder and fly ash were mixed at the same time. The bond strength exceeded 1 MPa in every mixing condition even after the repeated hot and cold treatment of the coating agent specimen for concrete, and the SFS mix proportion showed the highest bond strength. The examination of the accelerated carbonation and chloride ion penetration resistance of the concrete coated with the coating agent indicated that the specimen coated with the coating agent using silica powder as a filler showed the most outstanding durability. When a fish toxicity test was performed to examine the hazard of the use of the functional polymer as a coating agent for concrete, the functional polymer was found to have no effect on the organisms. When the chemical resistance, freezing and thawing resistance, carbonation, and chloride ion penetration resistance of the coating agent were considered, substituting silica powder and fly ash as the fillers of the functional polymer by 20%, respectively, was the optimal level in the range of this study.

본 연구에서는 유황을 폴리머화하여 콘크리트 표면보호재로 활용가능성을 검토하기 위하여 내구성능 및 생물독성 평가를 실시하였다. 평가 결과, 콘크리트 표면보호재의 내화학성능은 산, 알칼리 용액에 대하여 화학저항성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 배합조건별 촉진내후성 실험 후 부착강도평가 결과 규사분말 및 플라이애시를 동시에 혼합한 배합에서 가장 우수한 강도특성을 나타내었다. 콘크리트용 표면보호재 시험체의 온냉반복 후에도 모든 배합조건에서 부착강도 1 MPa을 상회하였고, SFS배합에서 가장 높은 부착강도를 나타내었다. 표면보호재를 도포한 콘크리트의 촉진탄산화 및 염소이온침투저항성을 검토한 결과, 규사분말을 채움재로 사용한 표면보호재를 도포한 시험체에서 가장 우수한 내구성능을 나타내었다. 유황폴리머를 콘크리트 표면보호재로 사용시 생물독성 검토를 위해 어독성 실험을 수행한 결과, 유황폴리머는 생물에 미치는 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 표면보호재의 내화학성, 동결융해저항성, 탄산화, 염소이온침투저항성 등을 모두 고려하여 볼 때, 본 연구범위에서는 유황폴리머에 채움재로서 규사분말과 플라이애시를 각각 20%씩 대체하는 것이 적절한 수준인 것으로 판단된다.
