Siloxanes in Concrete: From Manual Application of Water-Proofing Treatments to Mix-Design Addition for Concrete Hydrophobicity Liberato FERRARA1, a * and Andrea PATTARINI2,b 1Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32, 20133 Milan, Italy 2Azichem Ltd., Goito (MN), Italy aliberato.ferrara@polimi.it, ba.pattarini@azichem.com * corresponding author Keywords: water-proofing, siloxanes, hydrophobicity.
In the afore pictured framework, together with the already well “acquired” ability to design and cast a concrete as compact and impervious as possible, the engineering community has always keenly looked at the concept and development of easily applicable and durable water proofing treatments.
The mechanism of action of silane and siloxane molecules is thus able to create a nano-engineered pore-surface which may result into a highly increased water to surface contact angle and has been recently successfully exploited to produce “hydrophobic” concrete, with reported positive synergy also when in combination with dispersed fiber reinforcement [9].
The collaboration of MEng Isabella Capriglia in performing experimental tests and reducing data, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for her MEng in Building Engineering is also gratefully acknowledged.
