Abstract
Expansion joint failure is one of the main causes that lead to the damages of concrete pavement. The silicon dioxide/shape memory polyurethane (SiO2/SMPU) is a new kind of sealant which can use its shape memory performance to adapt to the width of the expansion joint with the change of pavement temperature, and it can effectively prolong the service life of the pavement and reduce maintenance costs. In this study, the effects of programming and the addition of SiO2 particles to the thermodynamic properties of the specimens were detected using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), the optimal shape memory programming temperature of which is 72.9 °C. Combined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and shape memory effect test, the particles are evenly distributed between the two phases, and the shape fixation rate (Rf) of 98.15% and the shape recovery rate (Rr) of 97.31% show that the composite has a good shape memory effect. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and dynamic infrared dichroism illustrate the change of the hydrogen bond of soft and hard segments with the SiO2 particles in the shape memory cycle, revealing the optimal shape memory programming process. This study provides an insight into the reinforcement mechanism of SiO2 nanoparticles in SMPU matrix and verify whether it can meet the engineering requirements of expansion joints when used as a sealant of concrete pavement.
