General properties of kaolin geopolymers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01)
This paper reported the properties of kaolin geopolymers in term of the bulk density, compressive strength, qualitative observation and SEM analysis of the kaolin geopolymers. Kaolin geopolymers were synthesized through ...
Tensile properties, swelling, and water absorption behavior of rice-husk-powder-filled polypropylene/(recycled acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber) composites
(Society of Plastics Engineers, 2011-09)
The effect of rice husk powder (RHP) on the tensile properties, swelling, water absorption, and morphology of polypropylene (PP)/[recycled acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBRr)]/RHP composites was studied. Composites ...
The processing, characterization, and properties of fly ash based geopolymer concrete
(Advanced Study Center Co. Ltd, 2012)
In recent years, attempts to increase the utilization of fly ash as a replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in concrete have increased in significance. Geopolymer concrete does not need the presence of Portland ...
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 ...
Mechanical performances of fly ash geopolymer bricks
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01)
Geopolymer is a new class of three-dimensionally networked amorphous to semi-crystalline alumino-silicate materials, and first developed by Professor Davidovits in 1978. Geopolymers can be synthesized by mixing alumino-silicate ...
Lightweight fly ash-based geopolymer concrete
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
The experiments of this study were preformed to study the synthesis process for lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) using normal sand as a fine aggregate and expanded clay as lightweight aggregate. The LWAGC ...
The influence of curing periods on the compressive strength of fly ash-based geopolymer at different aging times
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
The results of the current experimental investigation indicate the significant effect of the heating periods on the compressive strength of fly ash-based geopolymers prepared at different alkaline liquid content at both ...
Influence of oxide molar ratios on kaolin geopolymers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-12)
Oxide molar ratios are the main key parameter determining the performance of a kaolin geopolymers. The kaolin composition and various mixture proportions will lead to different oxide molar ratios in geopolymer system. In ...
Mechanical and microstructural evaluations of lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete before and after exposed to elevated temperatures
(MDPI, Basel, Switzerland, 2013)
This paper presents the mechanical and microstructural characteristics of a lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) synthesized by the alkali-activation of a fly ash source (FA) before and after being exposed to ...
A study on the synthesis of fly ash-based lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete
(American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved., 2013-01)
The experiments conducting for current investigation aimed to study the synthesis process for lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) and explore the significance and limitations of the activator content on the ...
