Abstract
Microbial induced concrete corrosion (MICC) is the main deterioration mode of concrete corrosion in concrete wastewater transportation system. Protective coating is one of the commonly used microbial corrosion protection technologies for concrete. In this study, the effects of CuSO4 concentration and pH value of electroless plating solution on the preparation of copper-plated hardened cement paste (HCP) were investigated, and the antibacterial properties of HCP surface were optimized by electroless copper plating. The main components of the coating were copper and its oxide particles. When HCP was plated at the CuSO4 concentration of 10 g/L, the copper coating with high mass gain (0.3 %) and Vickers hardness (212.0 HV) was obtained. In addition, cubic copper structure constituted a compact copper coating HCP. The plating solution with pH of 9 was helpful to obtain the best quality gain and Vickers hardness of the coating. The microscopic morphology analysis showed that the coating had a relatively dense structure. Besides, antibacterial test indicated that copper-plated HCP had a significant improvement in antibacterial performance.
期刊介绍:
Cement & concrete composites focuses on advancements in cement-concrete composite technology and the production, use, and performance of cement-based construction materials. It covers a wide range of materials, including fiber-reinforced composites, polymer composites, ferrocement, and those incorporating special aggregates or waste materials. Major themes include microstructure, material properties, testing, durability, mechanics, modeling, design, fabrication, and practical applications. The journal welcomes papers on structural behavior, field studies, repair and maintenance, serviceability, and sustainability. It aims to enhance understanding, provide a platform for unconventional materials, promote low-cost energy-saving materials, and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering, and construction. Special issues on emerging topics are also published to encourage collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers, and fabricators.
