Rapid curing of thin composite material sections

摘要

A method of preparing and rapidly curing a composite material having a thin cross section. The composite material includes a mixture of solid particles, at least some of which are a material that reacts with CO2, such as a silicate, for example Wollastonite. The green material is prepared by mixing the solid components with a liquid such as water to form a slurry, and forming green bodies by placing the slurry in forms. The green bodies are reacted with CO2 to form cured composite materials having thin sections, in the range of 10 to 15 mm. Curing in periods of 6 hours has been demonstrated.

1. A method of rapidly curing a thin composite material section, comprising the steps of:
preparing a green specimen of a composite material having a cross section in the range of 5 mm to 25 mm; and reacting the green specimen with CO2 in a curing chamber to produce a cured composite material having a thin section.
