The Effect of Latex and Nanocarbon Modifiers ON the Properties of High-Strength Gypsum

Abstract

It is known that gypsum binders and products based on them are effective building materials and are characterized by high technical and economic indicators of production and use in construction, and gypsum products also do not require acceleration of hardening in their manufacture. We can highlight the disadvantages of gypsum materials and products. These are relatively not high strength characteristics and low water resistance. It is possible to reduce the negative properties and increase the operational characteristics of gypsum building products by modifying gypsum binders, creating mixed forms of binders and composites with specified characteristics on their basis. Moreover, complex systems based on gypsum binders are not always stable in their properties and are often unpredictable in difficult operating conditions. The aim of our study is to study the mechanisms of influence of latex, nanocarbon, as well as complex latex-nanocarbon modifiers on high-strength gypsum of the industrial brand G-16.
