Effect of aluminium powder on kaolin-based geopolymer characteristic and removal of Cu²⁺
(MDPI AG, 2021-02)
This current work focuses on the synthesis of geopolymer-based adsorbent which uses kaolin as a source material, mixed with alkali solution consisting of 10 M NaOH and Na₂SiO₃ as well as aluminium powder as a foaming agent. ...
Optimizing of the cementitious composite matrix by addition of steel wool fibers (chopped) based on physical and mechanical analysis
(MDPI AG, 2021-02)
The demand for durable, resistant, and high-strength structural material has led to the use of fibers as reinforcing elements. This paper presents an investigation into the inclusion of chopped steel wool fibers (CSWFs) ...
Role of sintering temperature in production of nepheline ceramics-based geopolymer with addition of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
(MDPI AG, 2021-02)
The primary motivation of developing ceramic materials using geopolymer method is to minimize the reliance on high sintering temperatures. The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was added as binder and ...
The effect of thermal annealing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Sn-0.7Cu-xZn solder joint
(MDPI AG, 2021-02)
The microstructural properties of a Pb-free solder joint significantly affect its mechanical behaviours. This paper details a systematic study of the effect of the annealing process on the microstructure and shear strength ...
Paraffin as a phase change material in concrete for enhancing thermal energy storage
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-02)
Phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage (TES) is the material that can absorb energy during heating process as phase change takes place and release energy to environment during cooling process. Nowadays, ...
Seawater exposure effect on fly ash based geopolymer concrete with inclusion of steel fiber
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-02)
Concrete is widely used in construction offshore such as concrete floating bridges and sea tank. This research is providing an alternative construction material to replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete known as ...
Effect of solid-to-liquid ratio on thin fly ash geopolymer
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-02)
The present work studies the effect of solid-to-liquid (S/L) ratio on the properties of thin fly ash-based geopolymer. The fly ash geopolymers with dimension of 160 mm × 40 mm × 10 mm were synthesised by using various S/L ...
Characterisation at the bonding zone between fly ash based geopolymer repair materials (GRM) and ordinary portland cement concrete (OPCC)
(MDPI AG, 2020-12)
In recent years, research and development of geopolymers has gained significant interest in the fields of repairs and restoration. This paper investigates the application of a geopolymer as a repair material by implementation ...
Bonding strength characteristics of FA-based geopolymer paste as a repair material when applied on OPC substrate
(MDPI AG, 2020-05)
This investigative study aims to study the mechanical and morphological properties of fly ash (FA)-based geopolymer paste as a repair material when applied on ordinary Portland cement (OPC) overlay concrete. The first part ...
Strength development and elemental distribution of dolomite/fly ash geopolymer composite under elevated temperature
(MDPI AG, 2020-02)
A geopolymer has been reckoned as a rising technology with huge potential for application across the globe. Dolomite refers to a material that can be used raw in producing geopolymers. Nevertheless, dolomite has slow ...
