Fresh, mechanical and microstructural properties of alkali-activated composites incorporating nanomaterials: A comprehensive review
TLDR
In this paper , nano-modified alkali-activated composites (AACs) or geopolymers have attracted attention owing to their excellent performance and modification mechanisms, and the results mostly indicated that while increasing nano-additives proportion to a certain extent improves the mechanical characteristics, including compressive, flexural, tensile, and impact strengths, incorporation beyond that amount deteriorates them.About:
