Impact of Relative Humidity on Modified Alkoxysilane Gels

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Silicic acid esters have been used as stone consolidants for 50 years now. During this time they became the most popular consolidants for building materials, mainly thanks to their good properties during application. Despise all these positives, the use of alkoxysilanes brings also some drawbacks. The gel of the silicic acid esters, which is responsible for the consolidation, cracks and decays during several years after the treatment so that the consolidation has to be repeated. To suppress the cracking, the alkoxysilanes are often modified. In recent studies, we focused on modification of silicic acid ester gels by SiO2 and Al2O3 nanoparticles. Some of the prepared mixtures cracked less than the unmodified mixture under ambient condition. This work builds on these experiments and works with the selected modified mixtures. As the consolidants are widely used outdoors, it was necessary to compare the degree of cracking of modified gels under various conditions. In this experiment we focused on their cracking under different levels of relative humidity. As the objective evaluation of cracking was needed, we believe to come up with partial solution to this problem - to assort the extent of cracking to some defined category. The categories were defined according to our former experiences with observation of cracking states of the gels. We found out, that the change of relative humidity has huge impact on the way and extent to which the gels cracked. Knowing this information we may be able to prepare the modified consolidant, that better withstands outdoor conditions and thus to preserve our cultural heritage for longer time
