The development of low-carbon binders has been recognized as a means of reducing the
carbon footprint of the Portland cement industry, in response to growing global concerns …

Alkali-activated slag (AAS with type of slag being blast-furnace slag) binders possesses
substantially different hydration mechanisms from Portland cement (PC) binders, leading to …

Thermodynamic modelling can reliably predict hydrated cement phase assemblages and
chemical compositions, including their interactions with prevailing service environments …

Traditional cement and concrete production consumes huge amounts of natural resources
and energy, and has a great impact on the ecological environment. Alkali-activated …

Alkali-activated slag mixture (AAS) is seen as a prospective option to replace Portland
cement for three-dimensional (3D) printing to reduce carbon emission. This paper …

Geopolymer binders have good potential in the repair of existing concrete structures due to
their superior durability and mechanical performances. Understanding the interfacial …

Micronized biomass silica (MBS) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) are agro-
industrial byproducts generated by incinerating of rice husk (grinding in jar mill) and blast …

The long-term durability and their mechanisms of alkali-activated cement based materials
have remained largely elusive. In this paper, carbonation of alkali-activated slag (AAS) …

Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are increasingly attracting attention as a promising
