Design, processing and properties of fly ash-based lightweight geopolymer using foaming agent for brick application
Lightweight concrete reduces the overall self-weight of the structures resulting in the reduction of the foundation size, cost, and other specification. However, the conventional lightweight concrete production causes ... -
Development of kaolin based geopolymer coating for lumber wood applications
The use of ordinary Portland cement is evident for centuries now especially in civil industries. Lacking of greener option with equal or enhanced properties forced consumers to ignore the shortcomings of ordinary Portland ... -
Development of kaolin geopolymer ceramic with addition of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) as binder for lightweight ceramics
A lightweight ceramic material displays physical, mechanical and structural features which is highly preferred in modern ceramic industry. Geopolymer technology has been involved in many applications including in the ... -
Physical and mechanical studies of kaolin-based geopolymer masonry brick
A brick is mainly applied as a building material in construction of walls. Conventional construction bricks are usually made from Portland cement, clay and sand, which are mixed and molded in various method and need to be ... -
Production of fly ash-based geopolymer bricks through geopolymerization process
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Materials Engineering, 2013)Utilization of fly ash as a raw material for geopolymer brick production seems to be a logical solution that allows for the conservation of natural resources, abates further pollution and preserves the environment. Fly ... -
Utilization of palm oil boiler ash (POBA) as geopolymer material for Industrialized Building System (IBS) application
The increment of palm oil waste from palm oil extraction increased every year in Malaysia. Palm oil boiler ash (POBA) or bottom ash is one of the waste material from the palm oil industry where it was obtained from the ...
