      This paper describes the synthesis of calcined kaolin geopolymeric powder from the alkaline activation of calcined kaolin followed by solidification and pulverizing process. The geopolymeric powder was used by just adding ...

    • Curing Behavior on kaolin-based geopolymers 

      Cheng, Yong Heah; Kamarudin, Hussin, Brig. Gen. Dato' Prof. Dr.; Mohd Mustafa Al-Bakri, Abdullah; Mohammed, Hussain; Luqman, Musa; Khairul Nizar, Ismail, Assoc. Prof. Dr.; Che Mohd Ruzaidi, Che Ghazali; Liew, Y. M. (Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland., 2012)
      This paper aims at investigating the influence of curing process on kaolin-based geopolymers. Kaolin-based geopolymers were prepared by the alkali-activation of kaolin with alkali activating solution (mixture of NaOH and ...

    • Effect of curing regimes on metakaolin geopolymer pastes produced from geopolymer powder 

      Liew, Yun Ming; Kamarudin, Hussin, Brig. Jen. Dato' Prof. Dr.; Mohd Mustafa Al Bakri, Abdullah; Mohammed, Bnhussain; Luqman, Musa; Khairul Nizar, Ismail, Prof. Madya Dr.; Che Mohd Ruzaidi, Ghazali, Prof. Madya; Cheng, Yong Heah (Scientific.Net/Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)
      The properties of metakaolin geopolymer paste are affected by the alkali concentration, the initial raw materials, solidification process, and amount of mixing water as well as the curing conditions. This study aimed to ...

    • Effect of mechanical activation on kaolin-based geopolymers 

      Cheng, Yong Heah; Kamarudin, Hussin, Brig. Gen. Dato' Prof. Dr.; Mohd Mustafa Al-Bakri, Abdullah; Mohammed, Hussain; Luqman, Musa; Khairul Nizar, Ismail, Assoc. Prof. Dr.; Che Mohd Ruzaidi, Ghazali; Liew, Y. M. (Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
      Raw materials kaolin was subjected to mechanical modification; the effect of the mechanical activation of kaolin on the compressive strength and morphological properties of the geopolymers has been studied. Mechanical ...

    • Influence of solidification process on calcined kaolin geopolymeric powder 

      Liew, Yun Ming; Kamarudin, Hussin, Brig. Jen. Dato' Prof. Dr.; Mohd Mustafa Al Bakri, Abdullah; Binhussain, M.; Luqman, Musa, Dr.; Khairul Nizar, Ismail, Assoc. Prof. Dr.; Che Mohd Ruzaidi, Ghazali; Cheng, Yong Heah (Trans Tech Publications, 2012-02)
      This paper aims at investigating the influence of solidification condition on the processing of calcined kaolin geopolymeric powder. This is a new process developed using the geopolymerization process. Geopolymer slurry ...

    • Optimization of solids-to-liquid and alkali activator ratios of calcined kaolin geopolymeric powder 

      Liew, Yun Ming; Kamarudin, Hussin, Brig. Jen. Dato' Prof. Dr.; Mohd Mustafa Al Bakri, Abdullah; Binhussain, M.; Luqman, Musa, Dr.; Khairul Nizar, Ismail, Assoc. Prof. Dr.; Che Mohd Ruzaidi, Ghazali; Cheng, Yong Heah (Elsevier Ltd, 2012-12)
      This paper investigates the effect of S/L and alkali activator ratios on the synthesis of geopolymeric powder. Geopolymeric powder was synthesized by applying geopolymerization process. By adopting the concept of "just ...

    • Processing and characterization of calcined kaolin cement powder 

      Liew, Yun Ming; Kamarudin, Hussin, Brig. Jen. Dato' Prof. Dr.; Mohd Mustafa Al Bakri, Abdullah; Luqman, Musa, Dr.; Khairul Nizar, Ismail, Assoc. Prof. Dr.; Che Mohd Ruzaidi, Ghazali; Cheng, Yong Heah (Elsevier Ltd, 2012-05)

    • Strength and microstructural properties of mechanically-activated kaolin geopolymers 

      Cheng, Yong Heah; Kamarudin, Hussin, Brig. Jen. Dato' Prof. Dr.; Mohd Mustafa Al Bakri, Abdullah; Mohammed, Bnhussain; Luqman, Musa; Khairul Nizar, Ismail; Che Mohd Ruzaidi, Ghazali, Prof. Madya; Liew, Yun Ming (Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)
      Kaolin geopolymers exhibit low strength properties due to its plate-like nature which contribute to smaller surface area for geopolymerization reactions. Layered kaolin structure only allows very little, if any, substitution ...

    • Study on solids-to-liquid and alkaline activator ratios on kaolin-based geopolymers 

      Cheng, Yong Heah; Kamarudin, Hussin, Brig. Gen. Dato' Prof. Dr.; Mohd Mustafa Al-Bakri, Abdullah; Mohammed, Hussain; Luqman, Musa; Khairul Nizar, Ismail, Assoc. Prof. Dr.; Che Mohd Ruzaidi, Ghazali; Liew, Yun Ming (Elsevier Ltd., 2012-10)
