Contribution of interfacial bonding towards geopolymers properties in geopolymers reinforced fibers: a review
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-02-17)
There is a burgeoning interest in the development of geopolymers as sustainable construction materials and incombustible inorganic polymers. However, geopolymers show quasi-brittle behavior. To overcome this weakness, ...
Performance of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu composite solder with kaolin geopolymer ceramic reinforcement on microstructure and mechanical properties under isothermal ageing
(MDPI AG, 2021-02)
This paper elucidates the effect of isothermal ageing at temperature of 85 °C, 125 °C and 150 °C for 100, 500 and 1000 h on Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) lead-free solder with the addition of 1 wt% kaolin geopolymer ceramic (KGC) ...
Microstructure evolution of Ag/TiO₂ thin film
(MDPI AG, 2021-01)
Ag/TiO₂ thin films were prepared using the sol-gel spin coating method. The microstructural growth behaviors of the prepared Ag/TiO₂ thin films were elucidated using real-time synchrotron radiation imaging, its structure ...
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 ...
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 ...
