Alkaline silicate solutions are of great interest for several industrial applications. Previous
studies demonstrated the influence of different parameters such as the Si/M (Na, K) molar …

Alkali‐activated materials (AAMs) and “geopolymers” are inorganic polymeric materials
obtained by mixing of solid aluminosilicate precursors with an alkaline solution (generally …

Geopolymers are innovative mineral binders. These materials are still under research
development in order to better understand the formation mechanism, the local structure and …

Geopolymers are zeolites like structures based on hydrated aluminosilicates units of SiO4
and AlO4. These units, known as poly (sialate), poly (sialate)-siloxo or poly (sialate)-disiloxo …

Precursors are critical parameters in geopolymerization mechanisms because they govern
the reaction kinetics as well as the working properties of the final materials. This study …

Silica polymerization in a supersaturated aqueous solution of sodium silicate is a
fundamental mineralization process with broad relevance for technical applications as well …

The method of trimethylsilylation was used to study anion distributions in sodium silicate
solutions with Na2O: SiO2 ratios of 1: 1 and 1: 3.41 at various concentrations. The …

Geopolymerization is a general term to describe all the chemical processes that are involved
in reacting aluminosilicates with aqueous alkaline solutions to produce a new class of …

To determine the effect of F ions on the structure of the molten alkali silicate systems,
quenched Na2O–SiO2–NaF systems were investigated by Raman spectroscopy and …

One-part geopolymers were synthesized from two different silica materials (a silica-rich
residue from chlorosilane production and a commercial microsilica) and sodium aluminate …
