Geopolymers are inorganic materials that result from the alkali activation of aluminosilicates.
The aluminosilicates source materials can either occur naturally (eg kaolin, metakaolin, rice …

Alkali-activated materials are a new class of compounds that have been studied by several
authors worldwide. Alkali-activated binders can be competitive alternatives to traditional …

As a viable option to upcycle construction and demolition waste (CDW) into value-added
materials, geopolymer technology is emerging. Most studies investigate CDWs in a …

Nanomaterials (NMs) are being used to enhance the properties of construction materials.
This review focuses on the use of NMs to improve the characteristics of fresh and hardened …

Alkali-activated slag (AAS with type of slag being blast-furnace slag) binders possesses

Due to their good performance and environmental friendliness, fly ash-based construction
materials have great potential as alternatives to ordinary Portland cement. To realize …

In recent years, the construction industry has striven to promote environmentally friendly
materials. A growing body of literature has recognised fly ash-based geopolymers as a …

Although the formation of zeolites in geopolymers have been mentioned in many works, a
particular interest in geopolymer-zeolite composites started to increase very recently. Such …

Lithium slag is an industrial by-product obtained after lithium extraction from spodumene
ore. The higher concentration of sulfate ions (SO 4− 2) in the form of gypsum/anhydrite …

Rapid expansion in the worldwide infrastructure sector has led to a massive increase in
