The effects of various concentrations of NaOH on the inter-particle gelation of a fly ash geopolymer aggregate
(MDPI AG, 2021-02)
Aggregates can be categorized into natural and artificial aggregates. Preserving natural resources is crucial to ensuring the constant supply of natural aggregates. In order to preserve these natural resources, the production ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
