Geopolymer is a ceramic material, most often amorphous; finds applications in fire-and heat-
resistant coatings and adhesives, medicines, refractory ceramics and binders, and …

Natural pozzolans are tremendous source of reactive silica and alumina required for
geopolymer synthesis as an alternative binder for ordinary Portland cement. They are …

The construction of a lunar base and habitation on the Moon has always been on
researchers' minds. Building materials used in in situ lunar resources are of great …

This study investigated the impact of calcium carbonate nanoparticles (nano-CaCO 3) on the
mechanical properties of geopolymer composites. To that end, varying contents of nano …

Geopolymers are alternative materials to portland cement, obtained by alkaline activation of
aluminosilicates. They exhibit excellent properties and a wide range of potential applications …

This review provides a comprehensive study of the fundamentals of the alkaline and acid
activation of volcanic ashes (VA), for mainstreaming their use as a conventional feedstock …

The mechanical properties and durability of volcanic ash based geopolymer mortars
synthesized at 27° C and 80° C were evaluated. The water absorption and apparent porosity …

The main objective of this work was to investigate the potential of using granite waste (GW)
as raw material for geopolymer synthesis. The disposal of GW might cause many serious …

In the present study, the synthesis of geopolymers based on alkaline activation of concrete
demolition waste (CDW) was investigated using sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate as …

The progress achieved with the use of volcanic ash for geopolymer synthesis has been
critically reviewed in this paper. This consists of an overview of mineralogy and chemistry of …
