Geopolymer technology: the current state of the art
Peter Duxson,Ana Fernández-Jiménez,John L. Provis,Grant C. Lukey,Ángel Palomo,J.S.J. van Deventer +5 more
TL;DR: A brief history and review of geopolymer technology is presented with the aim of introducing the technology and the vast categories of materials that may be synthesized by alkali activation of aluminosilicates as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkali-activated fly ashes: A cement for the future
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanism of activation of fly ash with highly alkaline solutions is described, and the product of the reaction is an amorphous aluminosilicate gel having a structure similar to that of zeolitic precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI
New cements for the 21st century: The pursuit of an alternative to Portland cement
TL;DR: Aluminosilicate-based alkaline cements have been classified into five categories as discussed by the authors, and the key advances made in the understanding of synthetic gels are discussed, which ultimately finds hybrid cements to be technologically viable materials for contemporary construction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in understanding alkali-activated materials
TL;DR: Alkali activation is a highly active and rapidly developing field of activity in the global research and development community as discussed by the authors, and commercial-scale deployment of alkali-activated cements and concretes is now proceeding rapidly in multiple nations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composition and Microstructure of Alkali Activated Fly Ash Binder: Effect of the Activator
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the mineralogical and microstructural characteristics of activated fly ash mortars and its mechanical properties has been established, and the results of the investigation show that in all cases (whatever the activator used) the main reaction product formed is an alkaline aluminosilicate gel, with low-ordered crystalline structure.
