Bamboo is a fast‐growing, readily available natural material with tensile specific strength
equivalent to that of steel (250–625 MPa/g/cm3). In the pursuit of sustainable construction …

In the pursuit of sustainable construction, regional natural materials can be used as a base
for geopolymer processing. For higher strength achievement, this study uses mixed …

This study focuses on calcined kaolin, commercial sodium silicate, and Amazonian bamboo
to make geopolymer. The durability of geopolymer matrix (GP) and bamboo fiber …

Metakaolin geopolymers have limited applications owing to high brittleness. To address this
issue, herein, metakaolin geopolymer composites were fabricated by modifying the surface …

This work focused on designing an adequate metakaolin-based, bamboo fiber-reinforced
geopolymer composite for higher flexural strength and water absorption resistance. This …

Natural fiber-reinforced geopolymer (GP) is gaining popularity in the construction and
building materials industries due to its natural renewability, accessibility, low cost, and …

Lignocellulosic fibers obtained from the curaua (Ananas erectifolius) and malva (Malva
sylvestris) plants in Brazil can be used as suitable reinforcements for geopolymers (GPs) …

This paper evaluated mechanical and thermal stability of alkali‐activated materials obtained
from metakaolin and alternative silica sources, such as rice husk ash (RHA) and silica fume …

Geopolymers are inorganic aluminosilicate materials, which have been a great research
interest as a material for sustainable development. However, they possess relatively low …

A potassium‐based geopolymer (KGP) was produced through the combination of
metakaolin and a K‐based alkali metasilicate solution (K2O• Al2O3• 4SiO2• 11H2O). Two …
