Geopolymers are created by mixing a source of aluminosilicates, which can be natural or by-
products from other industries, with an alkaline solution. These materials based on by …

Kaolin can satisfy the world demand for filler, paper and ceramic industries. Kaolin converts
to a pozzolan material named metakaolin (MK) after suitable thermal treatment. MK can be …

Geopolymers are ceramic-like inorganic polymers produced at low temperature, generally
below 100 C. They consist of chains or networks of mineral molecules linked with covalent …

In many civil engineering constructions, soft and weak soils are often stabilized with ordinary
Portland cement (OPC) and lime. The production processes of traditional stabilizers are …

The pore solutions of a series of hardened alkali-activated slag/fly ash pastes were extracted
by the steel-die method, and analyzed using ICP-OES analysis technique. According to the …

Quantitatively optimizing critical factors for geopolymer production and explaining the
interaction effects between each factor are significant for engineering applications. A three …

The utilization of industrial waste as an aluminosilicate precursor (AP) for alkali-activated
material (AAM) production can provide an outlet for the growing waste stream and relief to …

Alkali-activated and cementitious mortars belonging to R1≥ 10 MPa, R2≥ 15 MPa and
R3≥ 25 MPa strength classes were tested and compared in terms of workability, dynamic …

Geopolymers emerge as an ecological alternative for construction materials. These consist
of a mixture of aluminosilicate sources and an alkaline solution that dissolves the silicon and …

This paper is a bibliographic tool reviewing experimental and theoretical studies related to
cement hydration and microstructure development that have been published within the four …
