This article assesses the state-of-the-art for research on one-part alkali-activated materials,
with particular emphasis on recent work dealing with the constituent materials, preparation …

Many alkali-activated materials (AAMs) exhibit poor workability in mixing owing to great
viscosity of the paste and fast setting. Chemical admixtures commonly used in Portland …

This paper covers a wide range of alternative strategies to improve the sustainability of
concrete. It firstly considers the relatively easy application of the latest technologies to …

The manufacturing of geopolymers and alkali-activated materials for precast and cast in-situ
construction applications could be achieved using suitable production techniques, such as …

This paper represents a critical review on alkali-activated materials (AAM) containing
organics with high homogeneity at nano-scale (< 1 μm). Organics including organosilicons …

Improving the sustainability of concrete industry by adopting durable concrete with low
energy intensity has become one of the major research focus in recent years, leading to the …

Geopolymer composites can be used as a proper substitute for ordinary Portland cement,
which can reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and make rational use of industrial …

The early reaction process of alkali-activated slag (AAS) systems is much faster than that of
Portland cement systems, resulting in rapid setting. Therefore, fluidity control and setting …

Sodium silicate powders with different SiO 2/Na 2 O (silica modulus) were characterized by
solubility rate, pH, and chemical structure (by 29 Si MAS-NMR) and compared in the …

The traditional activation approach for alkali-activated cement AAC has several problems
resulting mainly from the hazardous and corrosiveness of the alkaline chemicals, such as …
