Mechanical properties and fracture behaviour of coconut fibre-based green composites
(Foundation for Materials Science and Engineering “Serban Solacolu”, 2012)
This paper presents the influence of natural fibre content on the mechanical properties of coconut fibre based-green composites. The mixture ratio of cement:sand by weight was fixed at 1:1. Coconut fibre was used as ...
Optimization of alkaline activator / fly ash ratio on the compressive strength of manufacturing fly ash-based geopolymer
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
Fly ash and a mixture of alkaline activators namely sodium silicate (Waterglass) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution were used for preparing geopolymer. The aim of this research is to determine the optimum value of the ...
Effect of alkali concentration on mechanical properties of kaolin geopolymers
(Procema SA, 2012)
Alkali concentration is the most significant factor in geopolymerization process that must be taken into consideration during the synthesis of kaolin geopolymers. The kaolin geopolymers were prepared by mixing kaolin and ...
Optimization of solids-to-liquid and alkali activator ratios of calcined kaolin geopolymeric powder
(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 ...
Calcined kaolin geopolymeric powder: Influence of water- to geopolymeric powder ratio
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012-07)
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 ...
Processing and characterization of calcined kaolin cement powder
(Elsevier Ltd, 2012-05)
Abstract
This paper aimed at investigating the possibility of calcined kaolin to produce cement powder that could be an alternative to Portland cement by applying geopolymerization process. Cement paste was firstly made ...
Influence of solidification process on calcined kaolin geopolymeric powder
(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 ...
Microstructure study on optimization of high strength fly ash based geopolymer
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
The compressive strength and microstructural characteristics of fly ash based geopolymer with alkaline activator solution were investigated. The sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate were mixed together to form an alkaline ...
Mechanical properties and wear behavior of brake pads produced from palm slag
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
Brake pads are important safety devices in vehicles. An effort to avoid the use of asbestos in brake pads has led to the development of asbestos-free brake pads that incorporate various organic and inorganic fillers. Palm ...
Reviews on the properties of aggregates made with or without geopolymerisation method
(Scientific.Net/Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)
Aggregates are popular for use in concrete and lightweight concrete applications. Recent research shows that the by-product materials such as fly ash can be used as raw material in producing aggregates and lightweight ...
