Abstract
From a cheap perlite as the basic raw material an opaque glass-crystalline material was synthesized containing nanosized crystals of wollastonite and gehlenite with an average size of 100 nm. The phase composition, microstructure and strength properties of the material were investigated. Changes in the composition and size of crystal grains caused by varying the amount of catalyst and the content of quartz in the initial mixtures make it possible to control the physico-mechanical properties of the obtained material. High strength and hardness allow using this material for protection against high-speed impact, including small arms bullets.
