Abstract

The increase in energy efficiency has became a significantly important issue for building construction and maintenance. The energy efficiency is known to be achieved by using a material with lower thermal conductivity, and the best method is to increase the internal porosity of the material. Typical ways to increase internal porosity within cementitious composite are to use foaming agents or to use reactive powder such as aluminum. However, in this work, hydrogen peroxide was chosen as an alternative material to make lightweight cement mortar. The volume expansion of fresh cement mortar and unit weight, compressive strength and thermal conductivity of 28 day old cement mortar were measured. According to the experimental results, the incorporation of hydrogen peroxide increased internal porosity, and thereby reducing the compressive strength and thermal conductivities of cement mortar. It was found that hydrogen peroxide can be successfully used to produce lightweight mortar for thermal insulation purposes of buildings.

건물의 건설 및 운영에 있어서 에너지 효율성을 증가시키는 것은 현재 매우 중요한 이슈이다. 에너지 효율은 기본적으로 열전도율이 낮은 재료를 이용할 때 이루어질 수 있으며, 이를 위한 가장 좋은 방법은 재료 내부의 공극률을 상승시키는 것이다. 일반적으로 시멘트 복합체에 공극률을 상승시키기 위한 방법에는 발포제, 기포제 및 알루미늄 가루와 같은 반응성 분말을 활용하는 것인데 본 연구에서는 이들에 대한 대안으로 과산화수소를 이용하고자 하였다. 과산화수소 혼입 시멘트 모르타르를 제작하고 이의 부피 팽창, 단위용적중량, 압축강도 및 열전도율을 측정하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면 과산화수소의 혼입률이 증가할수록 공극률은 증가하고 이로 인해 압축강도 및 열전도율이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 과산화수소를 이용하여 경량기포 모르타르의 제작이 충분히 가능한 것으로 파악되었다.
