Abstract

Various types of fibers are utilized in cementitious materials in order to improve their performances. Here, the extent of fiber dispersion is of key importance regardless of the purpose of using fiber. In this study, activated carbon fiber dispersion in mortar samples was evaluated using electrical resistivity method. In particular, the extent of fiber dispersion was compared per mixing methods and surface treatments. The results suggest that the surface resistivity method is capable of evaluating dispersion of activated carbon fiber and that ultrasound dispersion method is superior to mortar mixer and hand mixer method. The use of superplasticizer improved dispersion but acid treatment was not effective.

시멘트계 재료의 성능을 개선시키기 위하여 다양한 섬유가 사용되고 있다. 이때, 섬유 사용 목적에 관계없이 섬유의 분산성은 목표로 하는 성능 개선에 매우 중요한 지표이다. 본 연구에서는 모르타르 내의 섬유활성탄의 분산을 전기저항 방법으로 평가하였다. 특히, 믹싱 방법과 섬유의 표면 처리에 따른 섬유 분산성의 차이가 다루어졌다. 연구 결과 표면전기저항 방법은 섬유활성탄의 분산성을 평가하는데 적합하였고, 초음파 방식의 분산 방법이 몰탈믹서와 핸드믹서 방법에 비하여 우월한 것으로 나타났다. 고성능 감수제는 섬유의 분산성을 향상하는 효과가 있었으나 산 처리는 전기저항성을 높이는 결과를 가져왔다.
