Sulfuric acid attack on ordinary Portland cement and geopolymer material
(Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), 2013-09)
The resistance of ordinary Portland cement binder towards acid had been widely discussed by researchers. The deterioration effect of this binder may cost high repair expense and rehabilitation. Geopolymer material is a new ...
Fly ash porous material using geopolymerization process for high temperature exposure
(MDPI AG (Basel, Switzerland), 2012-04)
This paper presents the results of a study on the effect of temperature on geopolymers manufactured using pozzolanic materials (fly ash). In this paper, we report on our investigation of the performance of porous geopolymers ...
Microstructural analysis of geopolymer and ordinary Portland cement mortar exposed to sulfuric acid
(Revista De Materiale Plastice, 2013-09)
The vulnerability of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete to acidic attack is a worrying subject regarding the future durability of this binder. On the other side of binder's technology, the new technology of cement ...
Effect of curing regimes on metakaolin geopolymer pastes produced from geopolymer powder
(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 ...
Strength and microstructural properties of mechanically-activated kaolin geopolymers
(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 fly ash based geopolymer for coating applications
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Geopolymer is cementitious binders that do not require the presence of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Fly ash with geopolymer formulations prepared with mixing alumino-silicate with the alkaline activator solution has ...
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 fly ash/alkaline activator ratio and sodium silicate/NaoH ratio on fly ash geopolymer coating strength
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Fly ash geopolymer coating material potential used to protect surface used in exposure conditions. Ratio of fly ash/alkaline activator and Na₂SiO₃/NaOH play important parameter on determining the best flexural strength of ...
Polyolefin layered silicates nanocomposites - A review
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
A review is given of polyolefins layered silicates nanocomposites. This group of commodity thermoplastic is widely used and gain a great attention among researcher now days for nanocomposite preparation with layered silicates ...
Compressive strength of fly ash based geopolymer / glass fiber composite via filament winding
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
In general, filament winding technique is used to fabricate the composite pipes using continuous fiber and matrix resin. In this study, fly ash based geopolymer resin composites reinforced by continuous glass fiber were ...
