Scientific interest on superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) in conjunction with cement-based
building materials has widened from mostly engineering aspects towards polymer physico …

Alkali-activated binders are considered as promising alternatives for ordinary Portland
cement (OPC) binders due to their positive environmental effects and excellent mechanical …

Alkali-activated binders or geopolymers are identified as an ideal substitute for ordinary
Portland cement (OPC) binders because of their outstanding mechanical characteristics and …

This paper provides a critical review on autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS).
It is reported that AAS paste, mortar, and concrete generally show larger autogenous …

In this paper, the superabsorbent polymer (SAP) was applied as internal curing agent to
study its effect on the autogenous shrinkage and hydration property of alkali activated slag …

Recently 3D printing of geopolymers gained increasing attention due to their dual-
dimensional sustainability from technology and materials perspectives. The current research …

Despite cement's superior performance and inexpensive cost compared to other industrial
materials, crack development remains a persistent problem in concrete. Given the …

Recently, alkali-activated binders have emerged as a promising sustainable solution in the
construction industry. There is great demand to promote the development of one-part alkali …

In this study, the self-healing of cracks in four alkali-activated slag (AAS) systems modified
by superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) is studied. The formation of carbonate precipitate is the …

In this paper, low-cost nano-zinc ferrite (NZF) was used to evaluate its efficacy, as compared
with nano-zinc oxide (NZO), on the performance of the fresh and hardened alkali activated …
