TLDR
In this paper, the effects of nano-silica incorporation on an eco-friendly alkali activated slag-fly ash blends were investigated, and the results indicated that as the nano silica content increases, the slump flow is significantly reduced, and reaction process is slightly retarded according to the setting time and isothermal calorimetry results.

The Effect of Pristine Graphene on the Mechanical Properties of Geopolymer Mortar

TL;DR: In this article , the authors employed a unique methodology in preparing pristine graphene-reinforced geopolymer mortar, and the results revealed that PG less than 5% by weight of the dispersing medium produced a good dispersion when sonicated in an aqueous solution and polycarboxylate ether superplasticiser as a surfactant.

Alkali activation of fayalite slag

TL;DR: In this paper, the size reduction was carried out by milling for a required time while the particle size optimization and mix design was done with the Elkem Material Mixture Analyser (EMMA).

Characteristics of cement mortar with nano-SiO2 particles

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of cement mortars with nano-SiO 2 were experimentally studied, and the results showed that the compressive strength of mortars containing nano SiO 2 particles was significantly higher than those of those containing silica fume at 7 and 28 days.
