This study aims to present an overview of the progress of geopolymer composites with
regards to the latest developments on its constituents (binders, activators, and aggregates) …

This paper highlights the multi-material additive manufacturing (AM) route for manufacturing
of innovative materials and structures. Three different recycled thermoplastics, namely …

Waste-derived sodium silicates (SSs) were synthesised from rice husk ash (RHA) to produce
alkali activated materials (AAMs) using fly ash and slag as precursors. The effects of these …

Green chemistry has been a major driver of sustainable development and had an important
diffusion in recent years. In order to investigate the state of the art in this field, a systematic …

Binders obtained by alkaline activation of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS)
represent an interesting alternative to Portland cement to manufacture sustainable mortars …

The topic of sustainability of reinforced concrete structures is strictly related with their
durability in aggressive environments. In particular, at equal environmental impact, the …

To better understand early stiffening of AAS pastes, distinctive microstructural features by
varying the silicate modulus (Ms) have been visualized with in-situ microscopy. In addition …

The construction industry causes significant environmental impacts in terms of global
warming and embodied energy consumption. Concrete is one of the most widely used …

To keep its leading role, the concrete industry must face the environmental issues linked to
the manufacturing, by increasing the energy efficiency and adopting alternative fuels or raw …
