A delegation from the International Scientific-Technological Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan took part in the 74th International Conference on Vibroengineering, held in Tashkent on November 27–28.

In his presentation, Durdymyrat Gadamov, Director of the International Scientific-Technological Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, introduced a monograph devoted to the development of the composition and the study of the properties of a hydrophobic and chemically resistant organo-mineral sulfur-polymer-concrete semi-finished material based on industrial waste.

The monograph, authored by D. Gadamov, U. Ziyamukhammedova, and M. Hudayberdiyev, notes that the developed material possesses high strength, resistance to water and chemical exposure, and also demonstrates excellent performance properties in aggressive environments.

The work presents an improved composition of sulfur polymer concrete using modified sulfur and mineral fillers of technogenic origin. The physical-mechanical and technical tests conducted made it possible to determine the optimal production parameters that ensure the material’s hydrophobicity, corrosion resistance, and durability.

The research results confirm the practical value of the development. The new material can be widely used in construction and engineering structures—such as in elements of railway tracks, waterproofing coatings, and other structures operated under harsh climatic and chemically active conditions.

As part of the research project carried out jointly with the Tashkent State Transport University of the Republic of Uzbekistan, certificates of state registration for intellectual property objects have been obtained in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

The joint research work of the International Scientific-Technological Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan and the Tashkent State Transport University is conducted in accordance with an international agreement concluded with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The innovative technology for producing rails from a hydrophobic and chemically resistant organo-mineral composite material based on industrial waste is an alternative to traditional concrete materials in railway construction and is aimed at increasing the durability and environmental safety of transport infrastructure.
