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 ...
Evaluation of the effect of silica fume on amorphous fly ash geopolymers exposed to elevated temperature
(MDPI AG, 2021-01)
The properties of amorphous geopolymer with silica fume addition after heat treatment was rarely reported in the geopolymer field. Geopolymer was prepared by mixing fly ash and alkali activator. The silica fume was added ...
Synthesis and characterization of fly ash based geopolymer ceramics: effect of NaOH concentration
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-02)
Ceramic materials have demonstrated impressive performance under severe conditions in a wide number of areas including health, energy and environment, transportation and electronic applications. In order to meet the growing ...
Mechanical and physical properties of bottom ash/fly ash geopolymer for pavement brick application
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-02)
Geopolymers are amorphous to semi-crystalline with excellent physical and and mechanical properties. It has been used to become a potential binder to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in certain applications due to its lower ...
In Vitro bioactivity study of thermoplastic Starch/Bentonite/Hydroxyapatite composites for biomedical applications
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-02)
Potato starch composites film incorporating hybrid bentonite and hydroxyapatite (HA) were investigated as novel biomaterial for potential biomedical applications. The selected potato starch/bentonite composites were prepared ...
Compressive strength and thermal conductivity of metakaolin geopolymers with anisotropic insulations
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-02)
This research investigated the properties of thermally insulating geopolymer prepared using waste filler (fibreboard and rubber) to act as anisotropic pore/insulation. The geopolymer matrix was synthesised using metakaolin ...
