• Assessing the porosity and shrinkage of alkali activated slag-fly ash composites designed applying a packing model (2016, background): “Alkali activated materials (AAM) have been extensively studied in recent years due to their lower environmental impacts [1,2] compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and superior performances such as mechanical properties [3], durability [4], thermal resistance [5] and acid resistance [6].”
• Influence of iron making slags on strength and microstructure of fly ash geopolymer (2013, background): “During the reaction, the Ca present in the slag undergoes hydration and forms C–S–H gel which is a cementitious phase, and improves the setting and strength properties [21–25].”
• Alkali-activated binders: A review: Part 1. Historical background, terminology, reaction mechanisms and hydration products (2008, background): “Puertas and Fernandez-Jimenez [ 64 ] analyzed alkali-activated mixtures of blast furnace slag and fly ashes in a percentage of 50%, and reported two types of hydration products: CSH gel Ca/Si = 0.8; Al/Ca = 0.6; Si/Al = (2–3), a calcium silicate hydrate aluminium with sodium in is structure and also”
• Binding mechanism and properties of alkali-activated fly ash/slag mortars (2013, background): “These binders are characterized by their superior durability performance and low environmental impact [4–6].”

About materials and binders manufacture (2008, background): “(a) kaolinitic clays [2–6]; (b) metakaolin [7–10]; (c) fly ashes [11,12]; (d) blast furnace slag [13–15]; (e) mixtures of fly ashes and slag [16,17]; (f) mixtures of fly ashes and metakaolin [18]; (g) mixtures of slag and metakaolin [19]; (h) mixtures of slag and red mud [20,21]; (i) mixtures of fly”
