[ 1 ] - Preparation and evaluation of geopolymer composites containing alumina particles at ambient temperature and after heating

In this research, geopolymer composites were prepared using metakaolin along with silica fume and potassium hydroxide as alkaline activators and alumina particles. The effect of alumina particle size to achieve castable microstructure and their mechanical properties were investigated. Different Si:Al mole ratio (1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3) and K:Si mole ratio (0.20, 0.25, 0.33) were formulated and the s...
