Efficiency of Self-Healing Chemical Additives on the Freeze/Thaw Resistance of Cement Composites

Abstract

The paper compares the effectiveness of two self-healing chemical additives: crystalline hydrophilic additive and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) microcapsules, on the freeze/thaw resistance of cement composites. The reference mortar mixture, the mortar mixture with crystalline hydrophilic additive as well as the mortar mixture with TDI microcapsules (both additives added in 2% by cement weight) were prepared. Hardened mortar samples are subjected to freezing and thawing cycles according to CEN/TS 12390-9:2006. The testing results indicate that self-healing chemical additives used here could improve resistance of the cement composites to freeze/thaw cycles.
