High Strength Construction Material Based on Sulfur Binder Obtained by Physical Modification

In this work, a method for obtaining a high-strength composite material on a sulfur binder without the use of chemical modifiers was proposed. It consists in obtaining a thixotropic casting mixture in the vicinity of the yield point of the system during vibration laying. The compressive strength of the obtained composite was about 97.5–94.0 MPa. Physical and mechanical characteristics remained stable for 7 years. The samples were obtained for a model composition of sulfur/marshalite (finely ground 98% silicon dioxide). The microstructure of the synthesized material was studied by electron microscopy, the results of which showed that shrinkage cavities are characteristic of a material with a low density, and no shrinkage cavities were found for a high-strength material. The phase composition was determined by the methods of XRD analysis, according to the results of which it can be argued that sulfur is in the orthorhombic form (S8). This technique can be proposed for obtaining the high-strength stable building material.
